Hey Guys!! This is my first post on Elitist Jerks. I've been reading around for a bit but I'm just still SO confused because there's so many ideas.

This is me:
The World of Warcraft Armory
I'm obviously a BM hunter with a 1.9 gun speed (still using gun from BBW in Kara).

Here is my problem:
I've been gone since the SWP patch, so I'm a bit behind. I see all these hunters with haste gear on, and them saying they do 1500DPS, with crappier gear than me wearing some PvP gear mixed in I guess because they haven't raided as much as me and gotten the drops. I normally get 1k-1.2k DPS, which I suppose is okay but not where I'd like to be. I use these 3 macros:

1:1 + Arcane/KC + Multi/KC

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()
/castsequence reset=1.96 Steady Shot, !Auto Shot
/cast [exists,target=pettarget] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()

+
#showtooltip Arcane Shot
/cast [exists,target=pettarget] Kill Command
/cast Arcane Shot

+
#showtooltip Multi-Shot
/cast [exists,target=pettarget] Kill Command
/cast Multi-Shot

But.. I obviously run out of mana like a mage who didn't stack INT. So I use my Mana Injectors and usually have to switch to Viper Aspect because I lose the mana before the next CD. When that happens, all I can do is use the first macro which is the regular 1:1 that uses KC if it's up - and obviously keep Viper on. THIS messes up my DPS and I normally start to fall back to 950. And it's SO irritating. I've been told that "Cast Sequences" by numerous people are also bad, which I don't know why, no one has explained - and that I should be using a 3:2 instead of a 1:1. SO! Which 3:2 should I be using? That's that... now any suggestions?

I was also told that the new badge gun was better than what I'm using now..Here are the stats to compare:

Crossbow of Relentless Strikes
Speed 2.80
93 DPS
Equip: Improves Crit strike rating by 18.
Equip: Improves hit rating by 14.
Equip: Increases attack power by 32.

Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle:
Speed 2.70
79.1 DPS
+15 AGI
Equip: Increases attack power by 32.

And one last night, is my spec totally wrong? Maybe that's why my DPS sucks too. Ughh =/ so fed up.

If I could get some replies back that would be AWESOME, and thankyou all so much for reading this looong post..
