In HoF, it's more equal, with Surv being the better choise on Ambershaper and Shekzeer, but behind on the other four fights - except, of course, if you apply a "aoe and burn"-tactic to windlord, in which case Surv becomes better on that fight (many guilds do, but it's the more chaotic way to do it, so I personally haven't got to do it yet).
In Terrace, Surv is stronger on protectors due to the buff not affecting your pet, it's stronger on tsulong due to general time spent killing adds and movement between them (sucks for the pet), weaker on Lei Shi, and it's debatable on sha - depending on what your issue is, either spec will be stronger - BM is hands down incredible for P1 (platform singletarget damage), and surv is awesome for P2 (dealing with adds, one multishot applies a dot that ticks for 25-30K to all adds).
So all in all, surv is stronger for a majority of fights, if utilised correct.
