Issue number one: you're in BG's. Very easy to blindside someone here. BG's as a whole are about the most inaccurate measurement of how well your class fares in PvP right behind ganking them in PvE while they're in the middle of fighting a mob.

I frost shock as soon as I get into range.
Issue number two: if the Hunter knows you're there, say... if you're standing across from one another in an arena, it's not that simple. Without the arena set gloves extending your shock range five yards, that initial FS is
never going to reach him without help. I.E. other BG members or your arena partner. Even with that bonus range, you're going to be snared right back immediately, so you're not really gaining any ground on him.
Issue number three: this is all just considering Conc Shot and Freezing Trap. If he's got Entrapment (which many, I would say most, PvP Hunters tend to take) and drops a Frost Trap, you are completely wrecked. At that point, you might as well just curl up into the fetal position and wait to die if you're Enhancement.

Issue number four: good Hunters will sit right on top of their Freezing Trap if they absolutely need it to hit you (I.E. they're looking to escape you). Not really much you can do in that situation other than eat it.

Also, observe the basic PVPing tactic of trying to get behind them. They can't shoot you if you aren't in their line of sight.
