My hunters are 37 now. I'm actually instance locking myself I clear them so fast. This is only marginally slower (25% maybe) than PLing myself through SM on a DK.

I feel like I've got the ultimate sub level 69 pet setup.

Cat
Wolf
Fox
Bear
Turtle

Gets me +str +agil +crit -10% AP on mobs and -20% attack speed on mobs + the uber tanking of the turtle.

It certainly helps that I am BOA'd up but holy sweet jesus my pets can tank like 10 mobs once I start bursting them down. Can't wait for 44 with thunderclap and my pets will hold proper aoe agro!
