Survival Hunter has had a phenomenal showing over this PTR cycle, and it remains unclear how many remaining bugfixes are coming that will effectively nerf the spec, as there are still a few interactions with their new set bonuses ( Mad Bombardier & Mad Bombardier) that could potentially get changed or might be left as is. If the spec remains in its current state it will deal unmatched AOE damage in a mythic plus setting, to the point that we believe it warrants inclusion in the S Tier despite being lighter on utility and survivability than many other top specs.
Time to prove that all SV needed was some buffs to make it more popular.

Survival could be considered S Tier and I am looking forward to playing it even more but it is considered S Tier by them (assuming you are quoting Dratnos and Tettles) for the simple fact of the OP borrowed powere and not from the class design or play style.
If there is a popularity boost it will due to inflation by meta chasers and not fans of the class. 9.2 will not prove/disprove anything.

I wondered why I’d seen so many baby survival hunters running around - bless those baby meta chasers. Think they’ll stay on to 10.0 or will they go back to their rogues & warriors when surv loses its tier set?

Inb4 “Nooooo, you guys can’t just enjoy SV like that!”
To be fair this was how it was for ranged survival as well. It was popular when it was meta and thats about it lol
Proven wrong to you with real data on multiple occasions, but you do you.
