Goblin Rocket Launcher in arenaFollow

I am thinking to buy this trinket..my plan is scatter shot, use this and from kick go back in safe range..does any1 have this?could you tell me some details?does give you the chance to avoid melee when they are close?
Now i have herbalism,alchemy.Is it a good idea to have engineer and raise it from the start just for this trinket?

It is a 3.5 second cast (clicky).

But as I am not an engineer I have no experience with that item. How long is the cooldown? If it is too long it even might not be usable in Arena :-)
But even if you can use it, is not worth the effort as it does not give you an edge. After a Scatter Shot a 3.5 second cast for a 3 second stun? No, not really. Better use that time to get to range, or play with the other opponents or whatever is on your mind.

Oh, my bad. WoWhead does state that the Goblin Rocket Launcher's CD is 2 minutes though, so it's most likely useable in arena.

Is this http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=23836;source=live
Has the 45 stamina which is very nice in pvp.
Lot of ppl use it in arena.I am wondering how long range is the kick.I heard that it is 40 yards so if you use it after scatter shot you will be again in safe range.Also you will have 1.5 sec to start your attack(aimed shot).you get an 1 sec stun after the kick.
Anyway, regardless this trinket, alchemy for mostly pvp hunter is useless.So maybe i will take engineer!:) who knows!maybe blizz would give the opportunity for engineer to craft amazing epic ranged weapons in the future!

Aaa you dont go back yourself...snif snif..i hate it now.
p.s=i am sub 1500 rating!:)

CANNOT USE IN ARENA. (Found out the hard way). Unless they've changed it within the last few months, but I haven't heard otherwise. I am a very pvp focused engineer hunter (with lvl 70's w/ both Gnomish and Goblin specs). The 45 stamina is nice...til you get something else for an arena/pvp trinket...BUT YOU CANNOT USE IT. It's the same deal with the gnomish chicken quasi-polymorph trinket.

Snapshots of other engineering goodies in arena:
Rocket Boots Xtreme: Usable and by far the most kickass arena item.
Nigh Invulnerability Belt: Usable. Just use it when at low health.
Bombs/Grenades: Not usable. QQ.
Goblin Rocket Launcher: NOT USABLE. (Did I mention this?) Anyway it's kinda pointless anyway if you have Aimed shot (in decent 70 blues) and imp Conc shot. Trivia for you pve people: The rocket really doesn't cause much aggro at all, so don't bother using with Misdirection.
Gnomish Poulrizer (...er something): Not Usable.
Flame Turret: Haven't bothered to try, but I've read...and I assume...it's unusable.

I am a very pvp focused engineer hunter (with lvl 70's w/ both Gnomish and Goblin specs) ? How is this possible? How can you be spec in both Gnomish and Goblin Engineer? I am a 375 hunter engineer and I cannot spec in both Gnomish and Goblin Engineering. Do you have two hunters that pvp and that have 375 engineering? The Goblin Rocket Launcher requires Goblin and the Gnomish Poultryizer requires Gnomish.
Goblin Rocket Launcher: NOT USABLE.
Gnomish Poulrizer: Not Usable.
I would say yes these items are not usable both at the same time anywhere.

Not bad for Arenas, imo.... The best in 1 vs 1 tho. Imagine: U trap the *******, go take range and: Rocket and steady+auto+scatter, than fast Aimed and whatever u do later. I would do concusive than kiteing if melee, or silencing and runing while concusive, run a bit and steady+multi+auto (should be done, as im MM 2500ap 30crit unbuffed xDD). If u do that, caster r all the time silenced/CCed in some way, and u should kill or almost kill him. Having a boar helps a lot in kiteing imo.... 1 sec of stun can give u a lot of distance...
