wow ya survival is useful but as stated its only good for group assisting if you have problems with out agro'ing your pet then set your talent tree up in Beast Mastery. Intimidation and disengage should ensure you never even get hit as a hunter or if you do it soon forgets you and goes back to attacking your pet. another thing that may help is getting a threat meter addon to keep track of your pets threat and your threat that way you know when to use intimidation or stop attacking or even have your pet use roar.
