Wasn't the Aggressive pet stance removed in 4.2 and replaced with an Assist stance? :P

You can still use a pet attack macro to send them in first.

I've had a group of 4x hunters and priest healer back in TBC. Was lots of fun.. Then pets took way more dmg then they do now. 90% AOE reduction is really awesome! So is the cower and turtle shield wall. Right now ive started a new 4x hunter 1x priest team (RAF) Lots of fun in PVE.. PVP not so much imo but they are only 55 right now.

Got 2x MM 2x BM.. BM both turtles.. Was kinda crap with packs of mobs in the low levels tho.. Lots of healing arggo..
Still best/fun group ive ever had..

My hunters are 37 now. I'm actually instance locking myself I clear them so fast.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Top-tier 5-mans (even on normal) will be an eye-opening experience.

Yeah. I'm estimating that you'll need the holy trinity (tank, healer, 3x dps) for any team that isn't a mage team :P Warlock pets couldn't survive long enough to tank. Maybe hunter turtles could stay alive if you have pets on your Grid and keep them spam healed?

The only other option is multiple tanks but it is too slow to kill single targets in my opinion. Someone mentioned using all Blood DK's and another person was using 5 bear druids.

I'm not so sure about this to be honest.

I've cleared plenty with 4 blood DK's + a paladin, and now that you can get redic s10 PvP gear for your hunters, your pets can literally tank raid content. It's been done already.

Running 4 pets who are going to ping pong agro, constantly heal and get healed by a healer, my guess is you will walk through normal dungeons and most heroics.

My turtle pet could tank stonecore packs without a healer, and I kept him up with only mend pet and the tier5 2 set bonus with the new gear and a healer, you should be fine!

After reading this thread and remembering the fun I had with my hunters in BC, I'm gonna start another group.

Kinda sucks that they won't be able to use dungeon finder....

But now I'm stuck deciding what healer to use with my 4 hunters. I'm leaning towards shaman for the totems, but I like the priest's group healing capabilities.
