Disclaimer
This page will be a rough outline of the bosses and mechanics in the Battle for Dazar'alor raid. This page will focus primarily on how a Beast Mastery Hunter can optimize its performance on the raid bosses in Battle for Dazar'alor, and not on an actual raid strategy for the bosses. Initially, this page will focus on Heroic mode and lower, however, as more bosses are being killed on Mythic, the guide will also include optimizations for Mythic bosses.
Beast Mastery in Battle for Dazar'alor
Beast Mastery Hunters have always been a popular choice for raiding, and Battle for Dazar'alor is likely to be no exception. The spec offers well-balanced single-target and cleave damage, and it is the only ranged spec to be completely mobile, making it excellent for doing mechanics without any DPS penalty.

For pure DPS purposes, you may consider a Silithid pet for the extra movement speed. This is because the encounter requires you to swap targets between the boss and the adds that are over 30 yards away.
Add Priority (during Seal of Reckoning)

From a Hunter perspective, there is not much to say about this fight yes.
The Apetagonizer 3000 add spawns after 15 seconds, and then every minute
after that. This means that 
Aspect of the Wild can and should be saved
for at least the second add that spawns (at 2:15 minutes). After this,
it will line up with add spawns automatically.
Jadefire Masters

For this boss, we will refer to Grimfang/Mestrah as "Monk", and Firecaller/Flamefist as "Mage".
The optimal strategy will most likely involve having the Monk boss at a lower health percentage than the Mage boss in this encounter.
As Beast Mastery, you should be attacking the boss that needs the most
damage in that moment (which will sometimes be the Mage, due to its
Fire Shield ability).
