Welcome to the Survival Hunter leveling build guide updated for Cataclysm patch 4.0.6. This spec build guide will take you from levels 1 through 85 in WoW Cataclysm.
I would probably suggest a beast mastery type build for the fastest leveling build, but if a Survival spec fits your playstyle, it is not far behind on speed leveling.
This build provides talesnts for 1-85 along with a suggested set of glyphs you can use. If anyone wants to add their favorite rotations, let me know!
These are the best leveling talents from 1-85 to go along with the best leveling route guide: Zygor’s Leveling Guide.

If you are having trouble leveling or need to level faster in WoW Cataclysm I highly suggest you check out Zygor’s Leveling Guide. It has the perfect leveling path that gets you to 85 faster and easier than any other way. No matter what level you are, you load the guide and it points with an arrow to the direction of each monster, quest giver, trainer etc. Its pretty crazy. It also has an in game box that tells you exactly what to do, like kill 5 boars, run west 10 miles, etc. If you dont have this in game add on guide, honestly, you are missing out.
