When wotlk came out I started a shaman+4 hunter group, the windfury totem when wotlk came out also worked for ranged attack speed, that no longer works. But the agility/strength totem helps since everything in your group will benefit. Also the soullink like effect only works for pet and master now, you cannot have the pets round robin soak damage for a single tank pet.

I also believe that Heroism/Bloodlust effects were removed from pets, though this may have just been the elemental totems of the shaman.

I ran with all BM spec/aimed shot hunters with gorillas. The problem I saw is that ferocious inspiration was always up and the points seem needless in all the hunters to spec into.

I tried mixed pets, but the bonuses that the various pets gave didn't outweigh the simplicity of the gorrila (which would now be bear for that playstyle). Sure you can have a worm, but the mobs don't last that long for the decrease to matter.

I had a lot of problems with the pets dancing with the mobs with a friend's warpstalker, endlessly trying to turn around and the mob and the pets would basically waltz down a hallway aggroing extra pulls. It all seemed part of that walkstalker's teleport function. When we turned that off it didn't occur, though the waltz didn't occur on every pull either.
