Every hunter I see in Orgrimar is a Beast Mastery (and very few surv), and rlly dunno why. Is it much better than MM, that all the people go for it? Is its dps broken, in its favor? Or is it just that BM is stupidly easy?

Why so many BMs on Frostwolf?

BM and Spriests are bg kings at the moment that is why you seeing so many of them, with Surv hunt you have to worry about your dots getting dispelled and your burst goes outa window, with BM everyting you do is insta damage. as for MM its a dmg is good, Chim shot hits 100k+ but overall it falls behind BM's dmg about 20%.

20% is quite a lot... Eh, I guess I'll go BM (i'm not a fotm or op specs fanboy, but I really love the hunter and wanna pull out the most I can)

Is no one going to tell him? Okay I'll start the BM flame war.
Because Beast Mastery Hunters have no skill, and can only rely on an NPC to fight for them.
You see, BM Hunts are broken and their pet does 70% of their overall damage.
This means, if you can stun a BM hunts pet, the BM hunt is basically just going to tickle you. Even with the pet BM hunter is still pretty weak. So Warmane doesn't fix their bugged broken pet, because if they did no one would roll BM anymore.
We like to be blizz-like but still cater to the masses.

But still, incapacitating a BM's pet for like 4-5 sec isnt going to beat him, and the hunter can also ressurect it, with a simple scatter shot before. So BM is not weak at all
My question is: you agree with Rupeklis, that the BM does like 20% more dmg or just about the same? Cause I'm rlly tempted to go BM

No, in a 2s incapaticating a BM's pet for 9sec is half of the BMs burst CD. Then it will be left tickling you after 10 seconds anyway.
BMs are crap this xpac, then again I roll healer - BM couldn't kill me if its life depended on it. If you want to play a class where all you do is press 1 button over and over, another button every couple minutes and watch an NPC pet do all of the work for you, then yeah roll BM. I mean, that's probably the main aspect of being a BM. If you generally can't play the game, just let it play for you. :D
Sorry, I just don't see why you'd want to play a class that everyone looks at and goes "He has 0 skill" I faced a Pride BM hunt without its pet and my health would tickle down.
So yeah, roll it if you lack being able to press more than 1 button every 5 minutes or so.

Every time I played it, I had the feeling that I'm not doing something (because of its stupid easiness), which affected my mentality playing him.
I'm glad actually that I can go with my loved mm and still have good dmg.

Part of the reason is that they removed readiness from all hunters in patch 5.4, including MM hunters. MM with no readiness is kinda meh.
I'm playing survival on my MoP hunter just because I got used to entrapment on my WOTLK mm hunter.Edited: December 21, 2016

I also tought of going Surv (vause it looks the most entertaining and interesting out of the 3) but kinda backed up when I found out it concentrates on traps.
If I'm not really experienced with traps (can use them, didnt master them), is Surv still playable to a decent 2s rating or I should head to BM?

You need to define decent 2s rating. What is decent for you?
If you want to climb the ladder to top 20, you will not do that with BM. You may be able to do it with MM, but your best bet in 2s is survival.
If you want to top the damage board in a RANDOM BG, then BM is likely the way to go as it takes the least amount of skill to top the board with. You simply have your pet stay on someone, and use kill command on cooldown whether pet is near their target, in los, or anywhere close to you.
If you want to top damage in a RATED BG, then survival is the way to go. Have an affliction warlock spread aids and unstable afflictions, and no healer will touch your dots.
If you want to feel good about yourself, playing a spec that is more historically associated with PvP (and skill), take up MM.
Now I will say this, I have never been outdpsed by a BM hunter when I've been on my MM hunter. If you understand MM and practice it, you will easily beat a BM's damage in Random BGs, and can definitely match a Survival hunter.

Noto mm requires skill that can take months if not years. Most noobies wont play mm they will play survival or bm. Truthfully if you know what you are doing as mm neither of those talents can kill you because both of those are burst all cd to kill.
