You don't place a hunter in a caster group really to buff that group, you place a shadowpriest into a hunter group instead. Without a spriest, unless there's a paladin keeping up JoW and they buff to the max, they do suboptimal dps.
We usually have 2 shadowpriests.
1 group of Spriest, hunterx2/3, healer
1 group of spriest, magex3, shaman
Ever since the hunters got a shadowpriest they have been consistently been in the top 1-5 of damage dealt. Before they lagged at 5-10.
Our healers almost never get a spriest, partly because they say that then they can not spend their mana fast enough. Hunters first, mages second, in my opinion.
As to 2 shadowpriests in a group, while I really liked the few times it has happened (hey, no potting for me!) it is, unfortunately, a great waste. Pots are cheap.
