Do hunters benefit from "Equip: Increases damage and healing from magical spells and effects" stuff. I read a forum somewhere that our traps do NOT. But what about...
1) Pet Mends
2) Arcane shot
3) Any thing else my level 35 hunter hasn't acquired yet
Thanks

Not in the slightest.
1.Mend pet isn't effected by anything.
2. Arcane Shot scales with Attack Power, so stack up on Agility and Attack Power if you want your Arcane Shots to have a little more "oomf!" ... Well, stack up on Agility and Attack power anyway.
3. There is nothing that your hunter will acquire that needs spell effects.

Mend pet was "nerfed" a few patches ago after a hunter successfully soloed
Azuregos with over +1100 healing, so no it doesn't scale anymore.
Other than that I believe volley and serpent sting scales with spell damage,
but you are not going to use those abilities anyway, so don't.
Go with agility and ap.

Kefas, you'd do well to delete what you said about Volley and Serpent Sting, so you don't confuse and/or mislead people.
Serpent sting, since patch 2.3 scales with Attack Power.
Volley does not scale with any attributes, but you can improve it with the Marksman talent Barrage.

Arcane Shot used to be effected by Arcane and +dmg as well, pre-2.0. The hunter AQ40 set still has +dmg/heal on it from the days that +dmg effected it.

True that Serpent Sting scales with attack power now, but +spell damage DOES increase damage dealt by Volley.
Slapped on a few pieces of quest reward +damage gear for a "Hobbs pull" on deadmines, had Volley ticking for 135 per tick (2.3.2).
Volley is the only true 'spell' hunters 'cast'.
I have not seen if +spell dmg works with it though. It would be kinda useless to equip something just for that anyway. Volley is really a specialized shot and useful only in certain situations. I use it in my own version of AOE grinding.

Thank you everyone for the detailed info and the bits about going strictly AP and agility for improved damage...very helpful. : )

Volley has it's uses. It can be comboed with Misdirect, for some nice AOE threat on the tank, without using a Misdirect charge.
Just, the only hunter gear with spell damage anymore is high level pre-TBC hunter sets. Don't try to get any.

*opens mouth. Inserts foot*
I'll have to fix my SCT to show Volley and try it. I know that it's not worth it to stack up on spell damage, but it's interesting that it does affect it.

Volley is pretty useless in most situations, unless there's more than 5-6 mobs, it's usually quicker to just autoshot them down.

I noticed under the Hunter's Intellect it says "Increases spell critical hit"
How does that play into my different ranged shots? A crit Arcane shot? Or is there more to it. I've been halving my gear btw agility and intellect just so I can get off a steady stream of "specialty" shots w/o having to replenish my mana every 3rd mob or so.
