It's hard to say. I'm hoping my gear (mix of S1 and quest/AH blues) is my bottleneck, but Hunter dps is much less impressive than I hoped. I also have trouble with LoS and /follow issues, especially with multiple targets. Unlike Shamans, Hunters are essentially worthless if they're aimed in the wrong direction. Part of that is my learning curve, so I need better macros, but mobs and other players still seem a lot more sturdy than they did at 60, for whatever reason.
