HMm, im hardly an expert, but seems to me that BM would still be the best bet if one is stacking hunters. Sure, you might lose some slight dps over what a solo hunter could put out, but i was under the impression that all / mostly hunter groups were built around their pets more than anything else. So, in that respect, for boxers, bm is hardly dead. (tho it might influence the number of BM hunters you have.... i'd think you'd still have at least one bm hunter...).

just my 2 cents. correct me if im wrong.
