Hello, I really cant decide which to choose, which one is better dps and utility wise in m+? I already level both of them but dinged 60 level on shaman and I find him clunky, while MM is more relaxing, yet he is at level 40. If I master both of them, which one have greater potential in high keys (16-20)?

Pretty much everything is viable at the moment, unless you are going for the min-maxing.
In case you want some real DPS - can’t go wrong with MM and I have a feeling you yourself is more alligned towards hunter anyways

Ele shaman on fortified weeks, MM hunter on Tyrannical. Ele shaman single target is weak.
But in all fairness, they’re both useful in 16-20 keys, so whichever you find more interesting to play, will be very much viable.

Yeah I feel the same, and actually I like min maxing, simming everything, trying to find what is best for my class. I like movement and be able to run away while still doing mechanic, have some nice tools to help my friend in m+ etc… I want to be viable in ST fights and aoe/cleave too.

Hunter is really good for m+, both in terms of dps and in terms of utility.

Depends on the key level and group. And if you want to be more support in a key (brill for pugs, might not be top DPS but you can use utility and interupts more to save wipes).
MM hunters are very strong 0-20ish. In a normal run loads of single packs, odd big pull here and there MM are one of the best specs. I mained MM and it was very hard to beat me over the run in an average run. 10k was about average, early in the season then top for me was about 14k with constant big pulls. Probs not that huge a number now but was 4+ months ago and rarely saw many people do that.
Ele shammys pull ahead with uncapped AoE later, and in bigger pulls. They can fairly often do 40k+ pulls. As long as the tanks not kiting too much and staying in there quake. It can be mega frustrating when the tank kites like crazy, your DPS suffers big time.
Both have amazing utility, I’d probly say hunters a bit better with tranq. That’s a huge life saver for the tank if no dru in the group. Makes alot of the worst mobs in the game to tank no problem at all. Binding shot, knock back, mis d so threats never an issue etc. Ele shammy has better uncapped AoE. Hunter has better DPS on the move with most skilks instant cast. Where as shammy has to stand and cast alot more.

Those numbers you wrote are what fascinate me and it is what I am looking for. As Frost Death Knight, in dungeons with good pulls and fast time i never had more than 11k dps overall but done everything I could, so I feel dps wise I feel limited by this class.
It’s hard work hitting those nunbers though, raid bow/quiver and trinkets. 3 months of weekly chest for the ilvl. It is mega fun playing fae/kyrian though, started SL with never playing hunter thought meh I’ll give it a try. Fell in love with MM the burst and utility is amazing. A very solid choice for M+ that can do amazing damage, and save wipes with it’s utility. Most mechanics are no issue for MM either. For a range class quake doesn’t interupt and lock them like rest of casters. Tornados, ghosts, sanguine etc are no issue.

Thank you all for your replies, you got me excited to continue leveling my hunter 
Hunter is less frustrating to play. Just keep in mind that community has bad perception that hunters are noobs and they will fail a lot. Prove them wrong.

Ele’s real value starts in (actual) high keys above 20 when your tank is able to do really big pulls, ele’s aoe dmg is ridiculous.
If you’re just gonna pug then MM.

My cousin plays as paladin tank and he often pulls bigger packs and plays around me rather than other player (pug). On those bigger pulls, is hunter’s aoe better or ele od better? I am leveling a hunter as I wrote higher in this topic but… It isn’t it…
hunter better legos . getter tier bonus better dps
Why not Monk class?
melee classes u have to run around boss avoiding damage as hunter u just stand nukeing boss 
Because for two years I was melee and I want something new, different. And monk fantasy is not for me.
Sham ele : Big aoe damage but hard to pull of, might be better with the tier set allowing you to have a storm elemental more often.
Hunt : MM has decent and consistent aoe from pack to pack without having to do anything crazy, tier set seem to help aoe. BM hunter on the other hand is not as strong in M+ afaik.
If your goal is to do 16-20s either is fine but i’d say MM hunt will be easier to play and more versatile.
And that’s why I main MM hunter in SL.
However, I still love playing the warrior.
