Master MarksmanPassive

Serpent StingInstant

A Murder of CrowsInstant

Master Marksman - This is the best talent for Raiding or M+. Since our Aimed Shot and Arcane Shot hit very hard, Master Marksman will have a higher damage output. It also procs with multi-shot and AoE abilities which makes it very strong as well for multi-target. 

Serpent Sting - Since we will most likely use Serpentstalker's Trickery for Single Target, this talent is not even worth thinking. For multi-target, it isn’t good as well as we only get full uptime on two targets.

A Murder of Crows - It deals very low damage and it’s only good use is in single-target.

Careful AimPassive

BarrageChanneled

Explosive ShotInstant

Careful Aim - This talent is very strong and simple, and it is very good for a single target. It shines when a boss spends longer above 70%. Also very good when used with Sharpshooter's Focus (Conduit) and Eagletalon's True Focus (Legendary).

Barrage - It is a good AoE spell, but deals less damage than Explosive Shot and has a long cast.

Explosive Shot - Since Careful Aim is only usable in certain situations, you will most likely use Explosive Shot in a lot of scenarios as it does more damage overall.

TrailblazerPassive

Natural MendingPassive

CamouflageInstant

Trailblazer - Movement speed talent, not really worth on any fight.

Natural Mending - This is a very strong survivability talent. We can use Exhilarations during fights, pretty self-explanatory.

Camouflage - This is really good on M+ if you want to skip packs. Other than that, no useful applications in raid scenarios.

Steady FocusPassive

StreamlinePassive

Chimaera ShotInstant

Steady Focus - We will use this in most situations as 7% haste is very strong.

Streamline - Also a strong talent and it goes head to head with Steady Focus when the fight has 3+ adds. 

Chimaera Shot - Strong in a 2 target stack cleave fight scenario but still falls below Steady Focus and Streamline.

Born To Be WildPassive

PosthastePassive

Binding ShacklesPassive

Born to be Wild - Reduced cooldown on aspects. Can see this being used on fights where we need to use Aspect of the Turtle every 2:30 minutes, but seeing this a very specific scenario we probably won’t use this.

Posthaste - Gives 50% speed for 4 seconds after using Disengage. Great mobility talent.

Binding Shackles - Reduces the damage done of enemies that were affected by binding shot for 8 seconds. Can be useful for solo content when mobs don't die during binding shot and do high damage such as Torghast and in PvP.

Lethal ShotsPassive

Dead EyePassive

Double TapInstant

Lethal Shots - I don’t see this being used because Double Tap is just very strong and synergizes very well with Resonating Arrow (Kyrian ability).

Dead Eye - This talent is only useful when the target is below 20%, so in single-target, it’s only a small proportion of the fight. In multi-target also not very useful.

Double Tap - The best talent in the row for single-target and multi-target. Has great synergy with Resonation Arrow (Kyrian ability).

Calling the ShotsPassive

Lock and LoadPassive

VolleyInstant

Calling the Shots - Not a good talent. It would crash the synergy between Trueshot, Double Tap and Resonating Arrow.

Lock and Load - Good talent for pure single-target. More Aimed Shots results in more Damage, pretty self-explanatory.

Volley - At the moment this is a very strong AoE talent. But its also very strong as soon as the fight exceeds 1 target, its immediately better than Lock and Load as you get Trick Shots for 6 seconds.
