I meant to quote the original question, not you Bula. Accidental.

But just to reiterate what I mean about roots not being a major concern.

If your druid has the hunter's druid as his focus and watches his cast bar it will be easy enough for him to feral charge -> root (or bash -> root, or even just root or cyclone) the other teams hunter keeping him parked near the warrior.

It's important to note however that I am an extremely aggressive druid and find, for me, in the 1900-2k bracket that my 2's team hovers in that this is the best option.

But I think you are grossly overestimating how easy it is to keep the pet alive while CCing and drinking. Also forcing the Hunter to rez his pet is a huge boon for the druid/warrior. It costs him a very non consequential amount of mana, forces him to stand still for 4 seconds while the warrior and druid train his druid, and rezzes a pet that needs immediate attention lest it be instantly killed again.

I agree with most of your points, especially that the difference between a good/great hunter and a mediocre one is much greater than mostly any other class aside from perhaps rogues, I merely posted the method I've seen the greatest success with.
