Also in the pet builds, are people using the talent which keeps the pet happy when killing stuff? Or using food to keep the pet happy?
Thanks for all the help

Hunters should swap between ranged and melee depending on distance. I know it used to be an option, but it should be the default action now. Strafe or back arrow is usually enough to separate a cluster. After fearbombs, I tend to use a focusing lens to get her facing the right direction.

My Spirit Beast has 1/2 in Bloodthirsty {happiness + heal}, which I'm probably going to swap around to Great Stamina. Glyph of Mend Pet is a Minor Glyph and should be enough to keep your pet at full happiness, unless you refuse to ever heal your pet.

In any case, I don't carry food to keep my pet happy. I just make it a point to buy food for my hunter that my pet can eat, so if I ever really, really need to feed my pet, he can just have what I'm already carrying.
