Overview
Phase 3 Beast Mastery Hunter for BT/Hyjal. Gronnstalker 4-piece with Cursed Vision of Sargeras. Bristleblitz Striker is the BiS bow; Black Bow of the Betrayer is the strong alternative. Pet DPS is a huge chunk of your meter — keep the pet alive, on the right stance, and buffed.
MD early, keep Steady Shot / Arcane Shot weaving clean, and never let Kill Command sit. Misdirect and Feign Death are your threat tools — use them before the tank loses the boss.
