Nothing; it’d still have Concussive Shot, or Carve/Butchery in that slot. SV already uses its own talents for the class tree, just like each of the Warrior spec have their own versions of certain talents.
No, not particularly. The most that change would mean is, when Barbed Shot and Kill Command resets are few, you’d use slightly more Cobra Shots than now if and only if Focus would otherwise have been a bottleneck, since prepping AoE would situationally cost less Focus.
That’s besides the point, though. BM uses Multi-shot because it’s there and Beast Cleave was, for now, designed inflexibly, not because every spec ‘needs’ to borrow skills from other specializations for its core rotation.
- Since Legion, the specialization provides one’s primary rotational fixtures and features; shared rotational tools mostly just provide additional means of exploiting them.
Survival doesn’t need to depend on a pet or to use Kill Command any more than it needs Quickdraw. It just needs to feel like, on the whole, it has its own personality and offers its own flow and strengths.
