Ara, if you dont have a thick skin either close your eyes or press the [previous] button.

At 70 I usually spec my hunter hybrid, with enough points in Survival to get the trap enhancements and the rest in Marksman which usually doesn't allow me to get silencing shot anymore.
What in he wold do you want to get out of MM beyond Barrage/scatterhot?
Unless you PvP Marks doesnt have all that much to offer and going a hybrid build with bothe Sv and MM half-assed you severely gimp yourself.
Either go 0/43/18 for a build that will do decent in PvP and 5-mans or go 0/21/40 and become a 5-man god.

The behavior you describe I confess I use in combination with a turtle as pet, when either I'm in a pug with people I don't trust and don't know how they play or when I'm in a group with people who I know don't know to play their class too well.
So because you dont know how well your groupmates play you intentionall gimp yourself?
Great way to get yourself known as a huntard.

Then I keep the pet next to me (turtle does no damage anyhow but can work well to offtank even for a non BM) make sure growl is always on and when things get out of control and my FD is on cooldown the turtle can buy me the time together with traps and kites so that at least I don't have to die.
Even as terrible as a turtle is at dps, I'm quite sure it'll still do 30-40 dps.
Wich, even if you yourself manage to put out ~800 dps combined is 5% dps.
And I'm pretty damn sure that you dont get that much dps.
Also, Turtles cant really survive much longer than other pets and they cant hold or take aggro at all.
And euhm, learn to feign death?

You don't mention the dps chart, I assume that hunter who you describe was high on the list.
Only if the OP was using his nose to push buttons and the fury warrior was blind.

There isn't necessarily one and only one way to play your class right. It always depends on who you are grouped with, how those players know to play their class and then to add your own abilities so that the group has the highest chance to succeed.
Good luck,

It's true that dps is greatly affected by group composition but I cant see how you can possibly link that to skill or the skill of your party.
Any hunter who doesnt use his/her pet needs to bang his head against the wall in the hope of knocking some sense into their brain.
Really, you should try it.
