Have I done something wrong?Follow

Guys im after your help again sorry,
After following your advice i have been topping damage meters whilst farming Kara with guildies. Having looked at cheekys i decided my next badge item should be swapping my Demon Stalker Gauntlets for the Gauntlets of rapidity from the vendor.
Without really thinking I gemmed an 8 agility gem on them (which i realise could have been a little hasty)
So we headed out to do some heroics as there wasnt enough on line for Kara, After running Arca and Ranps both on heroic i was getting comprehensively pummelled in damage by our Warlock (who by the way is a great player but with gear of a slightly lesser standard than mine)
My Armoury link isnt so accurate as by the end of the evening i resorted to swapping gear around and eating different foods to try and improve the situation. I use a 3:2 rotation as advised in these pages but the bosses go down so quick in 5 mans there never seems to be time to get a rythym going (threading in Arcane etc)
For your information I normally wear Drape of the dark reavers to get hit up to something respectable and eat Hit food as required.
Have I done something wrong ?
Is Kara more suited to Hunters than easy 5 man heroics?
(BTW we had a great Pala tank so there was no need for traps etc so i cant use that excuse :()

I would really appreciate your help and thank you in advance

Honestly try to get more hit gear and go with agi food, at least that's my opinion.

Next badge loot I would go for is the leather badge boots. It'd be an AP and hit upgrade over your current boots. You also could probably do better going the relentless earthstorm diamond over your ap meta. I'm also a firm believer in enchanting 15 agi over AP to gloves when you're talking raiding (AP is probably better for pvp). Your hit rating is probably the thing that's most holding your dps back right now IMO.

Sorry Dilbrt my bad, I started the evening using the Drape, Romulos poison vile and Agi food, so my hit was pretty much topped up. But thanks for the other tips.

1st: It's nice that you tried to hit the enter button, but hit it twice to make new paragraphs.

Now, whats your question? Are you afraid that the gloves you bought weren't an upgrade? They were, and your gem choice is fine.

If your warlock kicked your ***, then he kicked your ***. There are times when one class excels where another one fails. You said that you didn't have to trap, because of a pally tank. Perhaps since there was no CC, the warlock was able to use Seed of Corruption, which will significantly increase his DPS since it's an AOE.

But you have done one thing SERIOUSLY wrong: Your meta gem sucks. Pick up the +12 agi/+3% crit damage meta. It's the ONLY meta gem that a raiding hunter should be using.

I also suggest putting a 4 agi/4 hit gem in your helm. That helm is one of those rare occasions where it's actually very beneficial to take the socket bonus. With an orange gem in there, you'll unlock the +4 agi bonus, so you'll get +8 agi and +4 hit- That's, like, a gem and a half! And since you're not hit capped, that will benefit you more than the +20 AP gem.

Why i think that if you used 1:1 rotation you will be doing better?

2.03 speed, 2.00 is believed to be the optimal speed for a 3:2 rotation.
a 1:1 would leave 0.2-0.3 seconds of waiting time before each autoshot, thus wasting dps.

Why? Hit food contributes more dps then Agi food.

Until capped. Then Agility food provides the dps that the +hit food wouldn't...

In other news people get fat from eating too much and not exercising.
