making 5x hunters work (gather tips here)

[anna81792]

right, another frontier to be conquered!

remember when they said that more than one melee wouldn't work when multiboxing? proven false countless times already

I'm about to try and prove another myth to be false as well; 5 hunters doing heroics

I'll be having Beast Mastery tank spec and also points from Survival

pets will be Warp Stalkers (turtles have slow cooldown on their ability) because a good deal of the time they have a 50% chance to dodge melee attacks

with a secondary focus on haste, I can bring Revive Pet down to 3.5 sec or even lower, bringing my pets from the dead a breeze

here's my ATTACK MACRO that I will be spamming (Hotkeynet handles the shots)

#showtooltip
/target pet
/cast [target=target,exists,dead] Revive Pet
/assist focus
/startattack
/petattack
/cast Auto Shot

this way, each time a pet is dead and could be Revive Petted, this will happen instead of attacking the target

all pets have this way increased healing on them:

Blood of the Rhino - 40% increased healing on pet
Improved Mend Pet (mana cost of Mend Pet is now only 80%)
Spirit Bond - 10% increased healing on pet

EDIT: ALSO THESE GLYPHS WILL HELP IMMENSE! Mend Pet (Mend Pet's healing power increases by 40%), Freezing Trap (when freeze breaks, 30% decreased running speed on enemies), Bestial Wrath (well dug, of course)
MINOR GLYPHIES: Feign Death, Revive Pet (pushback REMOVED from Revive Pet, this is AWESOME to the MAX!!) and of course Mend Pet (one hunter has of the Pack, so that 55 yards will be faster to move on)

with the change of pets having 100% of the master's resilience, this set comes handy: Furious Gladiator's Pursuit http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=-93

gem sockets will be filled with stamina and other sockets that help the pets

AoE really is not a problem at all

careful pulling is necessary as to only battle the minimum amount of enemies as necessary

before level 80, Freezing Traps will be used effectively and at level 80 Freezing Arrows will be fired (Trap mastery hayhayhay) to freeze enemies and only focus on those that are currently unfrozen

slowly but surely, through trial and error, I'm sure I'll be able to accomplish something

please post hints and tips and what not here if you've already tried this and what have you found out

PS. it's said that a tank and healer and 3DPS are required for heroics, well, in essence the hunters work as DPS and healers, and pets will work as tanks.

EDIT: also, usually not considered a hunter item, the Shard of the Crystal Heart (www.wowhead.com/?item=Shard of the Crystal Heart) gives 512 haste on use with a 2min cooldown. I will not be using the haste from this item for any other purpose except to panic-Revive Pet, like so:

#showtooltip Revive pet
/stopcasting
/use 14
/cast Revive Pet

where item slot 14 holds Shard of the Crystal Heart aka Panic Revive Pet Item

usually, weapons such as Armor-Plated Combat Shotgun are _not_ huntard items, but seeing as the increased stamina is beneficial, I'll be hunting for both weapons (hunter DPS gun and warrior tank gun)
