It's widely accepted that once you hit about 300 tooltip DPS, Agility will begin to give a tiny bit more DPS. The reason for this is because 1 agility gives 1 AP and .025% crit. Crit increases your DPS by percentages rather than a flat 1 DPS for 14 AP.
And it's REALLY easy to get 300 tooltip DPS in dungeon blues/early kara purples.
It may be widely accepted, but my calculations do not support that position. Tooltip DPS is not a solid metric, other considerations such as weapon speed have more of an impact on real DPS.

Not to mention, Agility scales with kings. Attack Power does not. If you're trying to do 25-man raids, it's pretty safe to assume you'll at least have 2 pally buffs- Kings and Might.
Agility is the better option for any hunter getting into 25-mans.
The OP is in Kara currently, which is a 10 man raid. In 25 person content you can be pretty much guaranteed of having at least Kings, Paw, etc. In Kara, in my experience at least, the raid buffs vary wildly. One run you might have a Mage, the next, no Mage. The same for any other class, including Paladins and Druids.
If you have a Guild with a regular Paladin and Druid raider, and you are a regular Hunter raider, then things might be different for you. But if you have a typical Guild with a pile of raiders of various classes, you can't count on Kings, Paw, or any other buff. In that case, AP is your best bet. AP scales all of your shots and your Pet. Once you hit 25 person content, AGI becomes the better option due to a combination of gear improvements and raid buffs.
I'm confused on one point, however. Where is TidusBlue posting his Armory for people to comment on? I don't see it.
