survival is ok but bm/mm is much, much better. you're gimping your damage for survivability which you don't need as a hunter with a pet and FD.
destro is fine but mana costly compared to afflic / demo and you'll basically be eating/drinking like a mage. imp life tap op.
never played arcane, not sure. heard some people say it's fine for leveling and others hated it. playstyle i guess. i played fire and frost leveling and both are great. frost you can spec for aoe though and solo farm quite effectively which may help you to grind a level or 2 or farm some cloth/elementals or whatever to get your mount.
you're probably better off going holy over disc if you want heal spec for better holy fire/smite dmg. wand spec if you aren't going to spam smite. i'm leveling disc and it's pretty terrible solo, but i'm duo'ing with a rogue so that's why i went disc. currently in 40s. you should be able to heal effectively in dungeons through your 50's if not all the way to 60 as shadow though. (only remember healing as shadow through 54ish in vanilla)
im probably going to be playing with a friend. hes pretty chill about making himself DPS/tank, so i might just stick to a disc priest. i member my priest being my favorite toon short of paladin...but since i cant be a belf, ill pass on that lol
