I have done heroics with only 3 hunters. The pets take so litle dmg and holds aggro perfectly with missdirection (even with out too) its all about the dps realy and keep your pet alive (but that's not hard in any way) .. imo

Or is this less of a case of special setup as much as doing specific instances that lend themselves to hunter mechanics being survivable?

There really isn't a special setup per say, just being able to steamroll the mechanics before they get started. My hunters do around 120k dps each on boss fights, i'd say that they'd struggle a bit at a lower gear level - but it would still be very doable. My wife will solo heroics from time to time on her hunter, or if I have a team that just needs valor. She routinely averages at around 500k dps in our raids.

This.

The hunter class hasn't really changed much since Wrath/Cata - but the instances are, in most cases, much easier. I remember multiboxing 5m heroics in cata and struggling hard core with my shammy team and my priest team.
