There's a site that lets you build your own talent trees (just for kicks, mind you). I'm not talking about the wowhead talent builder, but where you can actually go in and design what you wish the talent trees would look like, or a joke for what it could look like to be supremely OP or nerfed. Anyway, I was just bored this morning so I thought I'd make a WotLK tree for hunters, and I've completed the BM tree. My goal was to make the trees more specialized, but also make the talents more viable (i.e. take some DPS off the hunter but give more DPS to the pet for BM, and make talents such as IAotM and Pathfinding more viable). I also had to add in a few talents to make up for the extra tiers. So tell me what you think of what I've got so far:

(note that some icons may be off from what you're used to, their icon tool isn't very good and I had a hard time finding some).
EDIT:
Some changes I may make are to have imp resistances give your pet a bonus to his instead of from yours, switch last stand and intimidate (maybe buff last stand as well), and maybe make some change to bestial swiftness.
Also note that last stand, the new ability, is a sort of buffed-up pre-TBC mend pet with a cooldown.
EDIT 2:
Made the changes. I should also mention a few other goals from here (and I'll remention my origional ones):
1. Specialize the trees. In this case, give more buffs to pet and less buffs to self.
2. Make more talents viable. In this case, most of the talents should be useful in solo and/or group situations.
3. Keep it balanced. Granted, some of these talents may not be (hence why I want feedback) but for the most part I think they are. Some are worse now, but buff the whole group instead of just the hunter.
4. Allow scaleability. The goal here is to allow hunter pets to scale in outlands like they did in azeroth. Thus, a few talents increase the coefficients of stats your pets recieve from yourself.
