Posting it again here, due to comment system fail.

The difference between a haste-stacked Aimed shot focus dump or an Arcane shot focus dump is not as large as most people make it out to be. Yes, Aimed focus dump is theoretically higher damage, but if you have to even interrupt one of those AiS casts to move, it can potentially be a damage loss over arcane.

You're probably aware of that already, but based on how movement heavy fights in Dragon Soul will be, it's may be better to stick with Arcane as a focus dump. This of course is all speculation. We shall see.

Further, I have qualms with the 2p bonus as a Marks main. With the change, it will mean that we will be steady shotting less in MM, which makes it harder to keep up the improved SS buff, which is already quite unforgiving to prevent from falling off (miss even one SS in your rotation and the buff is likely to fall off, = substantial dps loss). Unless they increase the duration of ISS, I have mixed feelings about the 2p bonus as Marks.
