As for DPS overall, I still maintain that BM will be too clunky in a real raid setting to play, without sacrifising your usefullness to the raid and becomming a tunneling menace. The pet won't switch fast enough, you won't do nearly as good AOE, you're limited to only attacking stuff that is "in melee range" properly (so nothing like dpsing blackhorn's drakes while they're flying to/from), and the micro-management needed for the spec to work on the same level as surv is simply absurd.
And numbers - in 454 average, I managed 58.5K dps on Garalon, with an elemental shaman being the only one clocking in above me (at 62K). After me came a 54K surv hunter, a 51K prot warrior, a 50K enh shaman, and a 50K ele shaman.
So top of the pack so far in my guild, in any case.
