Overview
Beast Mastery changes little in WoW Forever: a few talents were merged, and one new talent gives it its style. 
Summon Hawk sends a hawk diving at your target, and it keeps attacking for 18 sec. Two hawks can be active at once, and the summon shares its 6 sec cooldown with 
Arcane Shot. Several talents strengthen your hawks like a second pet.
The pet rework benefits this spec most: pets now follow your stats, which makes more families viable. It is the simplest Hunter spec. The real skill is keeping two hawks up without recasting them too early.
At level 20 in the beta, all three Hunter specs sit in S tier, with Beast Mastery in front: it has the best single-target pressure when the group pulls few mobs at a time.

Read the details
Bestial Wrath gives you a big damage window, and you keep your distance very well. Your pet solves many situations: the Tallstrider’s 
Dust Cloud reduces armor, the Crocolisk’s 
Dismember reduces healing taken, and the Bird of Prey’s 
Mine! disarms.
On the other hand, you bring no group buff, and your 8-yard dead zone remains a trap in melee range. In PvP, two hawks plus a pet under Bestial Wrath can hit very hard.

Rotation and priorities
Single target:
Multiple targets: 
Multi-Shot instead of Aimed Shot, since they share their cooldown.
With Summon Hawk: first hawk, Aimed Shot (or Multi-Shot on a pack), second hawk, Aimed Shot again, then Arcane Shot while both hawks are up, and repeat.
Weaving a few melee hits between your shots increases your damage.
Stats
- 1Agility
- then 2Attack power
- then 3Critical strike
- 3 Critical strike
- your pet copies 100% of it
Order to be confirmed: the exact priority is not settled yet.
No order is established. Aim for Agility, attack power and crit, which your pet copies at 100%. The exact order is still to be confirmed.
Leveling
At level 20, the build is the same as Marksmanship: Deadly Aspects 5/5 and Focused Fire 2/2 in Beast Mastery, 
Lethal Attacks 4/5 in Marksmanship. With Legacy points, move all 16 points into Beast Mastery: Deadly Aspects 5/5, Focused Fire 2/2, 
Endurance Training 3/5, 
Unleashed Fury 5/5 and Summon Hawk.
With your pet and your crowd control, you can solo what other classes avoid. Wailing Caverns has good pieces at this level.
Changes compared to Classic
- New talent, 18 sec of attacks, 2 hawks at most.
- New talent, +2% damage with an active pet.
- No hidden cast time, keeps going during your casts.
- Baseline ability, shares its cooldown with Multi-Shot.
- +6% dodge, and your pet gets half the effect.
- Revised, see above.
