More and more, I notice a very strong trend with hunters. Now, this isn't news, but it is something have I've always wanted to deny:
There are a lot of hunters out there with access to good gear. Very few of those hunters know what to do with it, though. Therefore, it can be difficult to land a raid spot based only on a guild application and armory link.
While I see a lot of hunters who have great potential for improvement (nice way of saying that they suck *giggles*), that is not a class specific problem.
For every class there are a lot of players around with rather good gear performing really bad. Please do not try to make us hunters worse than we actually are :-)
I have seen a lot of good hunters and I have seen a lot of very bad. But this is also valid for tanks, healers and all other DD classes.
To the OP:
Yes, hunters are needed in raids. Depending on raid composition you'll normally have 1-3 hunters in a 25 man raid group. For 10mans you'll usually find 0-2 hunters.
However those numbers are valid for every dps class.
Healers and shadow priests might have it easier to find a raid group as they are generally more rare, but as a hunter you should find a raid group as easy as any other dps class.
