Your post is needlessly confrontational. Next time, try to make your point without telling anyone to "go fuck themselves" or "lay off the acid". Thanks.

6) as long as the BM hunter's mana management is okay, the state of mana management in other hunter builds do not matter in WOTLK.
7) Non-BM hunters that use more than one type of special shot in their shot rotation, are not grouped with a class that ensures that they never run out of mana, and have to chain-chug fel mana pots, need to either Learn 2 Play or are irrelevant.

Sorry for being a little testy but the anti-SS and MM bias simply doesn't belong in discussions relating to WOTLK

I named two Survival abilities in a series of five total mana-regenning abilities, and only one BM ability, so frankly you can go fuck yourself if you're whining about me saying you have to be BM. I made no such claim, in part or whole, implied or expressly stated. I have yet to see ANYONE make any such claim. I have yet to see ANYONE on these or the beta boards (the general WOW boards can be ignored since 5,000,000 out of the 5,001,000 posters are brain-dead) make such a claim. As a matter of fact, you are the only one I've seen espousing such a view on any reputable board.

No one's saying you have to be BM. It's still up in the air which spec will be max-DPS. It seems likely that BM will still be king, with a Survival hunter with a viable role as raidwise DPS boost with good personal DPS. It seems likely that the current changes to MM won't be enough to have it replace either of the other trees. None of that is certain, yet.

3) all raids will have a paladin in it, even 10-mans
4) all BM hunters that presently raid are always grouped with a class that ensures they never run out of mana, and that this phenomenon will continue at Level 80.

Similarly, no one is saying you have to be grouped with a single certain class. Actually, most are saying "if you have any paladins in the raid, you're fine, and if you don't have any paladins, then a survival hunter or a shadow priest or a resto shaman would work in 10-mans, and if you're paladinless in 25-mans your guild needs to recruit".

2) all BM hunters will continue to use auto-steady in their shot rotation

And seriously, what the fuck else can we possibly use? Arcane Shot does less damage for more mana than Steady. Multi-shot does roughly equivalent to less damage for much more mana than Steady for a BM hunter. Kill Shot does less damage until 20%, at which point people are saying the rotation will change anyhow. We don't get Explosive Shot. Stings are utterly useless even for Survival or Marks, unless the Chimera/Scorpid combo works on raid bosses, which'll get nerfed if it does, so yeah.

Seriously, dude, lay off the acid. BM hunters aren't out to get you.
