An other option that i consider is Hunter + Druid.
You loose the ability to do stealth, but still with the NE bonus, you still could do ambush.
Hunter dps rotation is easy to macro, it do a lot of damage in PVE and to gear it for raid, you only got to get 4 blue dungeon piece (beast lord gear bonus).
I guess, with the pet and a druid around, you got a lot of flexibility for open world.
The bad things are deadzone (even if that's only 5 yard now).
