in the beginning, i discovered that my pet's cower would keep resetting back to on, i then made a macro that would turn it off at the beginning before i started fighting. and to solve the problem on my main hunter, i just simply let my pet round up a nice size mob, toss on AoV and just lay down Volley while popping Mend Pet between Volleys. But yea, my main hunter is also geared out his ass for normal questing. he's wearing the season 1 gladiator set. atleast most of it. it helps my bear out alot with damage resistance and health up so high.

Brummly on Earthen Ring Alliance side if you wanna check'em out on the armory.
