Hi, warlocks don't need to use shards for their damage.
Hunters don't need ammo to deal damage either. Just whack it with your favorite weapon while kitty chews on it.
What's that? Oh, you meant that Hunters need ammo to fully function? My bad. I'll go over here and summon a Voidwalker without a shard. Hmm. No, wait, I can't. Darn it.

They are regenerated for free and can be done mid-raid. Soul bags serve no purpose other than organization.
Really?!

You mean soul shards now regenerate all by themselves during the raid? When did that happen? Why didn't anyone link me the patch notes?! I can't wai-- hmm, hold on. I played my Warlock a couple of hours ago and I could've sworn her shards didn't regenerate for free. In fact, I'm pretty certain she had to use a channeling spell with a craptastic DPS in order to replenish her reserves.

A full soulbag pre-raid, and she won't run out until the raid's over. Now that I think about it, I can remove half the shards and put a normal bag there instead. Voila, more bagspace. Paying for ammo? Hardly an issue. I have a tenth of the repair costs most other classes have, and rarely go above their repair costs when I include ammunition.
A full quiver/ammo bag is enough for most Hunters, right? How about you remove half the ammo and just stuff the stacks in your backpack? Voila, more bagspace. You'll lose out on some attack speed, but hey... my Warlock loses out on some nice spells without shards.
It's true that Hunters rely a lot more on "reagents" (read: ammo) and that they can't generate their ammo by killing stuff. I also feel that Hunters should get a seperate bag slot for their ammo. One that isn't counted in with the four extra bags. Don't think I don't know what it's like. I may not be raiding, but I still now the ups and downs of the Hunter class.
When Theo wrote that other classes didn't share the frustration of having to use bagspace to perform well, I just had to answer. I could've used the Druid as an example, but I went with another ranged class that uses reagents for some abilities.
