I'm nearing 70 with a cat. I have claw &bite, with dash ready to be learned, but with the natural armor, stamina, avoidance, and random other skills its hard to fit them all in. At 70 whats the common use of points? Will I have enough to max out all those skills?
No, you won't have the points to max everything. You'll have to decide which things you like the most.
Usually I'd spec on every pet:
- growl
- avoidance
- cobra reflexes
- and your pets special attacks (claw/bite/gore/sreech or whatever skill your pet has. Usually 2-3 skills)
After those it depends on what you like to do with your pet.
If you plan to fight mostly melee mobs and have your pet tanking them, you'll want armor and stamina.
If you fight mostly caster opponents then training the appropriate resistances is more important.
If you want to do mostly raids and instances (your pet will not tank anything there), then you want a mix of stamina and resistances for the remaining training points.
And you can find a lot of useful information about pet abilities HERE

These are the important ones to get. After this I usually go with the first 2 ranks of each resistance. Then I fill in with Sta and Armor.
If you are a NE then you may have a use for Prowl, otherwise dont waste your time. Same goes for Cower, its useless. If a tank cannot hold threat on your pet with growl off then leave the group ASAP.
I am a BM hunter with 2 points in Endurance Training and nothing in Thick Hide or Catlike Reflexes. My pet (Ravager) currently has
5640 health
9668 armor
62 to all resists
Growl 8
Dash 3
Gore 9
Bite 8
I have no problem keeping him up in instances and all of kara, omit Shade and Prince,

Thx for the replies. I guess my problem is trying to go with just 1 pet. After seeing this i'll just need another to be more solo oriented and one for raiding.
You've two stable slots available plus the currently active pet. You might find you need three pets in order to cover all possibilities.

Does everyone think prowl is worthless? I quite enjoy it in PvP, especially when guarding flags in AB or attacking in world PvP on the sly.
I do admit, it is probably more of a "fun" thing to do than anything, but I don't find it totally worthless. I guess it comes down to the reason for having 3 pets.
Thoughts?

regarding this, which is more important: Stam or Armor? Do I max out one and fill in with the other? Even blend of Stam and Armor?
I have a cat and want him to hit hard. I use avoidance, cobra, growl. I enjoy prowl too much to drop it however, maybe it is time to change it out
more thoughts?
Happy Hunting!

For raiding, I spen points in dps attributes > Avoidance > dash/dive > resistances > stamina.
Armor just wont help unless you are doing gruul's.
Resistances often give your pet a much higher chance for survival than stamina because of the rather large amounts of damage dealt.
