Too bad this isn't a discussion about hunters.

Original Post:

While technically a hunter buff, I'm thinking they didn't consider the impact on priests in the arena of:

The new Chimera shot (51 Marks talent):
10 sec cd
You deal 125% weapon damage, refreshing the current sting on your target and triggering an effect:
Serpent sting: Instantly deal 40% of the damage done by your serpent sting
Viper sting: Instantly restore mana to you equal to 60% of the total amount drained by your viper sting
Scorpid sting: Attempts to disarm the target for 10 sec. This effect cannot occur more than once per 1 min

Viper sting is 8 sec with a 15 sec cooldown, which all other healing classes (other than priests) can dispel. With this talent, viper sting can essentially be kept up permanently.

Considering the massive boost to the base viper sting already (1368 mana for the current rank, 3092 for the new rank), with the talent to boost viper sting to 30%, WOTLK hunters can drain 502.5 mana per second (which seems sort of lol).
