(NOTE: These are glyphs based on 25man raids. If you are in up to date gear, and seriously raid 10//25mans often, then this is the best choice of glyphs. IF you are, however, more of a casual player and just pug or do heroics, then you will want Glyph of Explosive Shot instead of Glyph of Kill Shot.)

Now, the spec above is overall what you need, but you do have a slight personal choice with one of the points. For me, I personally like putting it into Charge, but you also have the choice to put it into Bloodthirsty, which would probably be more beneficial overall. It's really up to the person.

Based on my raiding experience and toying around on spreadsheets, this is the best Survival raiding spec.

well the current patch is 3.3.2 so a 3.2 spec is kinda useless don't you think?
