How would a level 61 hunter tame a Core Hound from MC? Helped by my other 4 70's of course.

I started the game around TBC's arrival so I've never fought one, but what about having a couple mages rotate frost nova to keep it out of melee range while it was tamed? Put up a few shots to get some threat, start the tame, nova nova nova.

or check comments on wowhead about how people did it http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=11673#comments

I'm not sure if they're vulnerable to any CC method.

My hunters would always use a Freezing Trap so 75% of the taming event has the mob standing stationary.
I have tamed a rare on several occasions, by having my mage Sheep it. Once the taming ends, the sheep breaks and you have yourself a pet.

I'm not sure if they are vulnerable to CC's, but if they are, this would be a huge help.

Hint: Bloodlust + Haste Potion

At least in 2.4.something they stacked and helped tame speed. Correct me if I am wrong/it has changed?

Neither Ancient Core hound's or The Beast can be CC'd unfortunately.

Just thought I'd chime in how my wife and I tamed one for her hunter

we took a prot pally, holy pally and the hunter. What we did was get the prot pally to hold the core hound until the hunter had 20k or so threat then the tankadin Divine Interventioned the healer (leaving the hunter the only one on the threat table for now, and no durability loss for tank) then the hunter has a massive threat lead to tame while the healer can heal as needed to get through.
