Stat Priority for Survival Hunter in Dragonflight

The general single-target stat priority for a Survival Hunter is:

  1. Haste;
  2. Critical Strike;
  3. Versatility;
  4. Mastery.

Generally speaking, high Haste and Crit is good, while you want to avoid the other stats. Mastery is better than Versatility for single-target by a little bit, but far worse on AoE.
