Steady shot vs Cobra shot as MM

ok so i know u get instant aimed shot procs from steady but vs plate dmg steady does terrible damage and when i do get that aimed shot proc i feel as if it might be just as useless as steady,

ive experimented with cobra shot dmg vs plate and its so much more effective with cobra shot critting for maybe 2x as much as steady shot crits.

so just taking a poll and some opinions on wat u guys think of cobra shot vs steady on plate wearers. also wat do the high rate hunters do? perosnally i like steadys for the haste buff
Can't speak from personal experience, but I gather that sort of situation is precisely why MM isn't hard-locked into using Steady.

Yeah i've often wondered this myself. I haven't noticed any difference personally..but i havent really tested it either.

I have been using Steady heaps more just to get that Instant Aimed Shot. And Chimera Shot re-applies Sting ..Does Cobra seriously more damage?

Yes, you can see it well on a BM spec.

Cobra still outdoes glyphed steady/haste on hardshells.

If you're dumping on a hard shell or lock, you'll get far better results with cobra/arcane/chimera than trying to aimed/steady.
Steady provides haste/bleeds but unless you are allowed to stand and turret, insta Aimed Shot is hard to get on target even in BGs. Either stacks fall off, target dies, target out or range/LoS, you get stunned feared, w/e.

Cobra str8 up eats plate/mail and out paces SS even with the haste and bleeds (according to Recount). The part that is hard to account for is how many extra Arcane shots are you getting due to the extra focus regen provided by the haste buff.

I have both shots bound and try to switch between the two based on the situation.

Just my 2 cents.
