Mucho thanks to the two separate individuals (sorry can't remember your names) who on separate occasions told me the UBER way to do this! (I forgot all about it by the time I asked a 2nd time lol, they say short-term memory is the 2nd thing to go. I can't remember what the first thing was...)
Worked absolutely beautifully!
1. Leave lowbies at zone-in. Be aware that as soon as they zone in the first mob will aggro them and charge at them, so I zone in on my 80 first and blow up the first mob.
2. Clear entrance hallway (4 mobs) normally.
3. Make way to cath doors without aggroing anything if possible. Open door.
4. Park hunter in fountain, facing the exit of the instance.
5. Eyes of the beast. Go attack Mograine and immediately drop Eyes of the Beast
6. Book it for the hallway. Go *JUST* around the corner and turn around. Prepare to volley
7. Mobs come in small-medium-large packs over about a 2-3 minute span. Volley 'em down.
8. Wait about 1-2 minutes for Whitemane to get her lazy arse over with another pack o' mobs.
9. Volley down Whitemane and her pack and the resurrected Mograine.
10. Spend 5-10 minutes looting everything (LOOT FILTER IS A GODSEND) to prevent going over the 5 instances/hour limit.
My hunter is dual-spec, I use MM spec for this as it has uninterruptable volley. 17.5k hp in MM spec, lowest they got me down to was 11k, but I burnt about 60-75% of my mana volley'ing each time. Fairly well-geared, all 10-man epics except for my rings and one trinket. Using level 1 arrows to save cost$. Mobs hit me for about 20-30 dmg, but there's so damn many of them at once that they can actually make a dent in my hp wowsa. Even with the fact my dodge is at about 32% with aspect of dragonhawk up.
*** LOOT ALL GREEN+ ITEMS AND VENDOR to offset the durability loss on yer bow from all that shooting. The coin doesn't quite add up to enough to offset it. I'm also looting all cloth and sending to an alt that wants to become a tailor. I think after one 2.5 hours session in SM Cath I have all the silk cloth I'll ever need lol.
