WoW Forever Survival Hunter BiS at level 50
Summary
This is the site’s suggestion for Survival Hunter at level 50, not an official list: we use our Survival stat weights to score every item a Hunter can use with a required level of 50 or lower, and pick the best one for each slot. The beta does not reach this level yet (the current cap is 30): it is a forecast, and items and their sources may change.
Stat priority of the list, per point: Agility > Mana per 5 sec > Ranged Attack Power = Attack Power. Percentage stats count too, per 1%: hit and critical strike. On weapons, ranged weapon DPS matters most.

More on Survival Hunter
Reasoning: Survival multiplies agility with Lightning Reflexes (+10%) and uses melee a bit more (Wing Clip, Raptor Strike), so agility is worth a touch more and the melee weapon slightly more than in the other two trees.
Heads up: the beta is capped at level 30 and the weights are indicative, tuned for level 60 with no simulations behind them. Sources come from the WoWSims Forever database and, for items that already existed in Classic, from the Classic 1.12 database (CMaNGOS Classic-DB, marked "Classic data": they may change in Forever); an item without a source may not be obtainable yet. Set bonuses and procs are not scored. Everything will change with each build.
Treat these lists as a starting point: your talents, enchants and play style may make another piece the better pick.
