Quick question in the Animal Handler talent. Since pets "try" to get behind their targets, is expertise really that useful for a pet in a group? If I understand the mechanics right, there won't be any blocking or parrying going on if the pet is behind its target, though dodge is still a possibility.

Leth I assume that you're on EJ with this... as am I... did you miss the test with the pet, hemorrhaging circle and a crap ton of leather expertise gear? many dodges, parries, and blocks were reported by the tester. Still not confirmed yet.

LETH! QUESTION!
So you've told me numerous times that as a BM hunter I have no incentive to use Serpent Sting.
However when reading your shot rotation section on this guide, and I quote... Priority rotations are the way to go: fire the shots that cause the most DPS first. Right now, this is limited to Steady Shot, and if you're Marksmanship or Survival, Chimera or Explosive respectively.
Refresh Serpent when it expires (if you are not MM).
Save Arcane for if you have to move.
If you are MM, and you specced for Aimed Shot, the Barrage talents, and the TSA glyph, fire Aimed immediately after Chimera every time: you want Chimera to get the Imp Steady Shot proc, not Aimed.
If you are Survival, and Lock and Load procs, alternate firing Explosive and Steady for best results. You don't want to overwrite Explosive Shot ticks. (Of course, replace Steady with an instant if you can't stand still.)
Didn't know if you were just referring to Survival spec or not. But it seems that as BM we have 3 shots, Steady, Auto, and Kill. Doesn't seem very productive to me.

I love this article, but I fail to understand the poor grammar in the title: "how do i shot bow?"
Am I missing an inside joke here or something?

About the BM spec, you'll only need 1 point in GftT when you have Bestial Discipline; you only need 3 points in Frenzy most of the time; you have no incentive to Serpent Sting as BM in a raid with another Hunter and even if you do need to Serpent, Improved Stings is a waste (and so is the Serpent Sting glyph, put the Viper glyph there);
