Hunter changes of 3.1 is it goodbuy survival?

So the time had to come for them to nerf the dps of survival. sheds a small tear...

I have been survival ever since BM was nerfed last patch, and have had two of my stable slots going to waste with a

Spirit Beast and a Corehound waiting for BM to become the powerhouse it used to be.

So what do we have to look forward to in regards to survival nerfs exactly:

According to MMO Champion PTR notes for 3.1:

* Improved Wing Clip has been removed from the game.

On the surface it doesent really look like too much of a nerf really, just scaling back damage a bit.

But i guess we will have to wait for the official patch notes to really be able to guage the differences after it has been taken off PTR.

At least we will be able to have a BM spec and a Surv Offspec, and with the new skill Call Stabled pet it will make it that much easier. Really not sure why they added a 30 minute cool down to that ability though.

Also even though its probably just lazyness from me, why the hell do our pets only scale up too level 75. I know i remember when we had to level them from whatever level they were tamed at, and it would me a massive mission to level them all the way up to our level, but im just not sure what benifit grinding for five levels with a new pet gives us.
