I agree with this assessment. Hunters going all out are incredible at consuming mana, and can go OOM faster than any other mana dependant DPS class (AOE Situations excluded). A hunter going all out with optimal shot rotations on Steady, Arcane and Multishot is going to see huge DPS, but also a huge mana output that needs to be resupplied (chain potting won't be enough here).
My ranking would be this for DPS classes:
1) Hunters
2) Mages / Elemental Shammies / Boomkins
3) Warlocks
