So far I hate my pet and my dps is average.  I loaded him up with BoA gear and picked some cheap greens off the AH.  I think my dps is low for a hunter but its with the group and is good enough not to get kicked.  My pet is a total spaz.  I keep seeing him drag a mob off into other groups on my instance runs.  I have the taunt thing turned off but I still see it happen.

I still don’t have good synergy with my pet.  There was this point where I decided to sleep a pat in a safe spot before we pulled the big group in front of him.  I used to sheep that pat so it would not chain the group behind it.  I hit my target with Wyvern Sting for CC and my pet decided to go stand next to it.  He did a little dance and brought the back group with him into the front group we were looking at.  It was a very large pull that quickly wiped the group and I was told to watch my pat.

I am very good with my ice trap.  I used to group with a very skilled hunter a long time ago and he was very slick with his traps.  I see I am already using some of his tricks.  If I don’t have a good use for the trap, I keep it in front of the healer or ranged aoe.  If the tank or healer is weak, I place the trap off to the side of the group and pull a mob out to it on the pull.  I do it off to the side so the tank knows what I am doing and does not think dps is pulling agro.  If I place that trap in the group, it looks like the mob is running back to kill someone.  I think it just looks slick when a hunter does that.

There was a large pull last night where I was able to Wyvern Sting a single mob pat that was going to agro just as we were pulling and then place a trap next to him and pull a mob into it.  We cleaned up all the other mobs and those 2 were still CC’d for us to kill.  I tried to get a screenshot because the placement looked perfect but I was too slow.

I didn’t think much of my trap skills except for one run where someone complemented me on how well I grasp traps.  I did save this mages life once when we were dpsing from max range and a rogue poped and started to own him (he was all spellpower and not much stam).  I trapped him and we went back to dpsing like it never happened.  The rest of the run, I didn’t do any active trapping because of all the aoe.  But my traps were in place every time a mob pealed off the tank.

I guess I look like a good hunter as long as my pet spaz does not mess it up for me.
