You are
still spouting that nonsense? Seriously, a BM without a pet would outDPS a Marksman without a pet. A Beastmaster's pet hits like a Mac truck, sure. But the main DPS comes from the Hunter itself, through Serpent's Swiftness and The Beast Within every two minutes.
Besides, Agility does pretty much exactly half as much as Pure AP through scaling on gear, but also adds Crit and so on. But sure enough, a BM Hunter will to begin with benefit the most from pure AP gear.
Up to a certain point! Once you are past Karazhan, I'd start taking Agility over Attack Power. Why? Because that's when you will slow down on AP increase, which won't scale all too good anyway with the lowered percentage to your pet. And thus, Agility will give you Attack Power, but also the much needed Crit chance.
Anyway, past Karazhan a Hunter had better have capped Hit or I would beat him with his own Epics.
