Tips for coming back to HunterFollow

I've been away from Hunter for a while now, since WotLK came out basically, I leveled him to 75 in about 3 days after expansion and then started a DK and never looked back until now.

I forgot about all the changes made to the class and pet mechanics and talents in general and am really hating the fact that I suck again after being top raid Hunter in my BC raiding guild......<sigh>

Anyway, I'm getting back to my Hunter and would like some help/tips with a few things to help me get back in to it.

1) Add-ons: I know of ZHunter and a few others but are there any that any of you swear by that help you as a Hunter more than others? Looking for an auto-shot timer mostly but a aspect and trap helper would be nice too.

2) Macros: Want to macro in Kill Command and Kill Shot to all my normal shots and need help with that, but if there is a macro helping site or something just point the way. Any other macros that help out with bar management, pet feeding, or any other helpful stuff would be nice.

3) Rotation: I'm BM so the correct Rotation/ priority would be.... Serpent Sting(if not up)-> Kill Shot-> Arcane Shot-> Multi/Aimed Shot-> Steady Shot-> repeat?

4) Stat weights: anyone know where I can find the stat weights for Pawn for a BM Hunter? I know what the priorities are(Hit til capped->AP->Agility->Crit) but when leveling and picking upgrades I like a quick glance to tell me whether the item is even worth looking at since with so many freakin stats on higher end items it's kind of hard to tell sometimes.

Any other tips and tricks are welcome but I must say that even just leveling from 75-76 last night that I am loving Hunter again and can't wait to get good at it again....now if I could just get Loque'nahak and a few thousand gold for epic flying I'd be set....and not have to worry about the rep grind again....<shrug>, whatever it will be fun to do it as a hunter.

Forgot that auto wasn't linked anymore and I didn't notice it when I played yesterday, but then I wasn't really watching either, I was just trying not to die and relearn how to play as a Hunter rather than a Death Knight.

I found a couple good macros that I am going to try out today and I also looked around for more rotation help and I think I have it nailed down...in theory anyway, haven't had time to test it since I'm at work still.

Stat weights I'll find somewhere when I have a chance to look around a bit more, but now my main question is which abilities don't rep grinding, farming, PvE minded content Hunters EVER use? or use so rarely that they don't deserve a spot on the main action bars? We have so many that I don't have a single spot open and I remember on my DK having like 4-5 open all the time (main open, and lower left and lower right action bar).

Thanks for the help Browning, I'll post anything I find really useful once I have a chance to test it out.
