Thanks for the response. I like fighting rogues a lot better on my Cata bm hunter, lol- that's a much stronger 1v1 spec. A few months ago I saw Dillypoo dueling on Blackrock on his livestream (had the vod saved but he deleted it) and it seemed like he lost a lot more than he won. Didn't exactly give me a lot of hope, though I'm sure he doesn't spend a whole lot of time on his WOTLK hunter.
I enjoy 1v1 encounters in bgs a lot more- as an 80 mm hunter you can abuse your max range without the annoying "you're out of dueling range" warning. My main gripe in that regard is that it seems like so many people on this server like to fight in a big herd instead of getting in fun 1v1 fights. I'll usually leave a bg if everyone is fighting in a herd, which seems to be the case a good bit.
