New Talent Calc, this looks soo much better than it previously did, restores my faith in hunters and now I'm definitely looking forward to playing with mine in cata.
According to the talent calculator, Chimera has a 6 second cooldown and up till recently the focus regen rate was 3 per second and Chimera shot's focus cost was 60 focus so it's gone down 10 as well.
I'm glad to hear that they upped it to 5 though.
Also, MM still feels empty in the latest build and very far from finished, BM however is taking real shape and I like it. SV is still mostly meh.

Hmm, looking at it a bit more, I think I'm going to be taking this back. We'll see what shots do which percentage of damage, but I imaging it'll be a small enough part that it won't be as good as the straight 3% you can get in SV.

Xsarus, how are you doing aspects? Same as Hawk->Viper and then back to Hawk except with Fox instead of Viper?

With IKC giving instant Kill Commands, this makes it do exactly what arcane shot does, except with more damage. So in PvE use, aside from when your pet is switching targets, or dead, or things like that, it seems that, for BM hunters are least, arcane shot is going to be completely unused in a priority. Correct?
Edit: Whenever pet abilities trigger the pet's GCD, Kill Command doesn't deal damage, but still uses focus. Hopefully it's just a bug, because it's troublesome right now.

The fact that AS is nearly half the cost of KC is important, though. BM is basically just spamming CS and tapping KC nonstop. Using Arcane Shot would require them to stop using CS. And KC does much more damage, so they are obviously not bothered by the fact that it is more focus--you'd need to factor the lost CS damage/focus into AS anyway.
MM spec is somewhat similar. You could Arcane Shot, but you really want to be using Steady Shot to get your Aimed Shot procs. So, even if AS is better damage than Kill Command (which I don't remember if it is or not in MM), you are better off using it than stopping to use AS. You just can't spam it, or you won't be able to use your Aimed Shot, Chimera Shot or Scorpid Sting when they come up.
Survival, like I said above, is much more confusing. AS is certianly very efficient damage--22 focus (15 for crits).
The real question is which will do better DpS at cap--AS or SS/CS? If the former, than you won't be using Kill Command. If SS/CS is better, then you'll only be firing *** when you have a Lock and Load proc, and might actually end up hitting KC to burn excess focus.
Without knowing how these abilities will scale (or how gear will scale), it is really hard to evaluate.
I'm really hoping they add something else to BM, though. I like its synergy with the pet, but the rotation is just way too boring (literally spam one thing and hit the other, that's off the GCD, whenever it comes up).

My wow client crashes 5 minutes into the game and kills my network, so I haven't been able to get my hunter leveled at all.

Camouflage
85 - You camouflage, causing you and your Pet to blend into your surroundings. After 3 sec., you will enter a camouflaged state for 1 min, making you untargetable and providing stealth while stationary. While camouflaged, you and your pet's movement speed is reduced by 30%, but the damage done by your next attack is increased by 15%.
You can lay traps while under the effect, but any damage done by you or your pet will cancel the effect. Cannot be cast while in combat.
45 Focus, Instant, 1 min cooldown
WTF tooltip... does it break upon moving or does that keep me untargetable but visible?
And can't be cast in combat... Oh yeah @#%^ing awesome... or not so much.

Don't underestimate a stealth that you can only activate out of combat. Kinda like, oh wait, stealth.
