I just turned 80 on my 4x hunters. I know what you mean. But hang in there, hunters rely on gear - big time. So you suck at first but scale really, really well.

I'd suggest getting the ICC 5 man weapons in Forge of Souls and POS. Just Q on 1 guy and run it. Once you get the Q on the first guy, Q the next guy. 5 different 232 ilevel weapons drop that are really good for hunters in those 2 instances alone, plus 232 shoulders. I managed to get all my hunters 232 weapons in 2 days just running those 2 instances 1x per day.

If you really feel bad, just manually Q for Isle of Conquest and AV. Most people won't really notice and you'll get a lot less hate. Also, you could do a Random BG with all 5. Enter with 1 of them first, and drop it if it's not AV or Conquest, and re-Q the rest.

Bottom line, just hang in there. Hunters are really late bloomers, that why I think most people haven't had much success boxing them. I'm having a really fun time, my guys are starting to kick ass at around 4.6k gearscore. When I'm at like 5.5 - that should be insane.
