Right now my hunter is only level 50, and is BM for leveling, but I'm
already starting to think about raiding, which is the main thing I'll be
doing at 80.
What is the best end-game spec for a Hunter who wants to top dps
charts? I've heard both MM and Surv preferences so I'm wondering
what everyone thinks.

Arthas Hellscream to me ithink survival is better for raids becuase you will have more HP but get HP boost from BM and you should be fine as survival I was under the impression that you didn't need the extra health at end game raids because your tank should be taking care of that anyways? Can someone show me a good build perhaps?

dont listen to that nub about BM... Bm has been nerfed to the point to where it is useless in raids and for me useless in the game period including leveling.
now the best specs are dependent on what gear you have and your knowledge of the class. First of all the best spec up until you have over 40% armor pen unbuffed and no talent procs is Marksman, tho it is based solely on what fight you are in, which will effect your overall dps. the best way to handle this is to master both marks and survival. Now marksman is good for raidwide mana return and high dps given that you can keep up with the demanding rotation which will give you maximum dps. now you can always half a** this and get *OK* dps but that shyt dont fly with a player like me since i always strive to be the best at my classes (which i have) now i hate the fact people still go on thinking BM is the best leveling spec...WRONG!!!! in fact its the slowest of all the specs as far as finishing off mobs the fastest, gettin questing done the fastest, and also dps in groups being number 1 at all times by huge margins such as surv and marks. BM is a worthless spec. sure you get to tame a special pet at the 51 talent point mark but that pet doesnot to extra damage that any other pet will do such as a wolf * which is better btw * only think you get is a special ability that is usually pretty useless in itself. And the fact taht * oh my pet can tank and hold threat off me with BM tho? * hahaha thats cause your not doing crap for dps and it takes you 10 mins to kill a zangermarsh mob at level 63 lol now with marks and surv you practically if not LITERALLY kill the mob before it even gets within 10 yds of you ( not an exaggeration ) so all and all look up specs and guides through elitistjerks.com and or tankspot.com and start understanding your class. experiment all the specs and dont become to partial to just one, you will only limit yourself as a player and as a hunter

 End-game you say? when there's no competition there,
Marksmanship surpasses all the other specs when
talking about "End-game" raiding.
Of course with that being said you need at least 700+ passive armor penetration. (1000 to do awesome dps)
So if you're below that you might want to try Survival.
With all the gear coming out in ICC armor penetration is on everything.
Explosive shot ignores armor so survival doesn't benefit much from ArP.

I myself prefer a mix of surv and marks. Marks is good for mana return as stated but with a few in surv where you get the extra damage buff from tracking what your attacking. Also a bit of BM as much as that guy up there said it was nerfed there is still advantages to having a bit in BM. Not so much for you pet but more for you. Like where your bonus for aspect of monkey and aspect of hawk mix together. So your dragonhawk gives you better dmg.

I run Marksmanship for most fights, but I've been playing with Beast Mastery for those raid fights where my pet is the constant DoT while I have to run like hell dodging attacks or getting people out of web traps, etc.
Haven't taken it in to a raid just yet, but it's done fairly well in Heroics with technical boss fights.
