Is pushback from 3 slashes every ~minute that big a deal for Hunters? We used everyone (except the melee) in soak groups, and our two BM Hunters topped DPS at 2,262 & 2,253 on a kill that went 17 seconds over the enrage (scaled back on consumable usage trying a slightly different raid comp, had a Rogue dc at ~6%).

Just thinking out loud here, 3 slashes a minute is 18 total over the course of the fight. Assuming each one pushes back ~1 second and the average autoshot time is ~2 seconds (accounting for haste procs/drums), that's a loss of 9 autoshots. At an average of 1500 per autoshot (averaged from WWS), that's 13,500 damage lost, which is roughly ~36 dps. Am I missing something, or is that within the ballpark?

I guess that could be worth it if the healing can cope with extra slash damage.
