because they simply aren't. for a raiding BM hunter AP IS BETTER. ap is infinitely better than crit for a BM hunter due to the way ap scales our pets dmg as well as our own. focus isn't even close to being as important now as it was in the happy WS LB spam days. our pets white dmg is 80-90% of the pets damage (cept scorpids, but they dont scale with crit either anyway).
the difference in scaling with BoK when using all AP gems instead of agi gems is not worth taking agi gems over AP.
haste is useless for BM hunters and doesn't come close to ap boost procs unless you got the exactly right +haste gear to make your current weapon that you wont upgrade in a long time fast enough.
what would be awesome is if someone took the task of making a table of all end game ranged weapons and the required permanent +haste (id account for imp hawk too) to make them 1.6 or 1.7 depending on how well you are at timing.
heck, i might do it now that im not raiding anymore, although it wouldn't be pretty.
now all we need is blizzard to make our GCD 1 sec just like druids and rogues for even more keyboard smashing and dps.
