Quite the contrary. MP/5 makes Viper and Int obsolete in a raid. A "real" raid set should have no Int and just enough MP/5 to infinitely sustain Steady Shot spamming together with Blessing/Judgement...

Those stats are not exactly stellar for raiding. Why all that Int and the low MP/5? After all it's about sustainability in raids, not bursting till you are OOM. And 0.45 AP don't make Int more...

All builds have excellent CC options now, Scatter Shot or not. Sure, the removal of a deadzpne would be nice to have, but I don't see it as an important Hunter issue. Admittedly I'm in the minority...

The more likely reason was that the similar Rogue talent was strictly inferior, instead of buffing it Blizzard decided to tone down Combat XP.

Uhh, no, it's just 30% of 100%. 30% of 100 is 30, thus, 230% damage on a crit.

Spell crit talents are 100% of 50%, so 50% + 50% = 100%, or 200% damage on a crit.
