I'll go first!
0.) What level is your team?
About level 78. My healer is lagging a bit since I will occasionally run with a healer partner.
1.) Overall satisfaction?
So far, good. I'm having fun exploring instance content with this team. I have a nagging suspicion I won't stand a chance in arenas, which bugs me a little.
2.) What are you happiest about? What would you change?
Flexibility and options in PvE content without having to micromanage tanking. Pets are tanking very well so far-- I hope this extends into heroic with good gear investment. I wish that I wasn't so useless in PvP when someone gets in my face.
3.) What spec is your team and what pet loadout do you use?
I've run a ton of different configurations. Hands down, the most efficient (and best DPS, group-wise) has been to stay 4xBeastmastery, with 4xGorillas. All other combos just can't compete. This may change some post BM nerf, but I'm enjoying the simplicity for now.
4.) Are you able to do Heroics? Any favorites or ones to avoid?
Still not 80 due to my hectic work schedule now.I am encouraged when I see solo hunters tanking some Heroic instances with their pets, however.
5.) How are you doing in PvP (Battleground, Arena, World PvP)?
Fine. I will echo the same complaint as everyone else and say that too many classes do too much damage now. Unlike my shaman team, I can get wiped easily if I am caught off-guard.
6.) Anything else to add?
I am contemplating a 4xSurvival build for BGs later on, depending on how the class changes shake out. I would very much like to see the AoE component of Explosive Shot returned via glyph. Explosive Shot still looks pretty dominating as it will still deal fire damage (great against plate/mail wearers) and is currently scaling very heavily with attack power on the PTR. (54% total of AP... 4xHunters should be capable of pumping out 18-20k damage like this on a six second cooldown-- less if you have a LnL proc).
