Currently alot of hunters in our raiding guild just hit level 80. Let me list them with some (nick)names. There is smart who has been level 80 for a week and declines raid invites because he openly admits he's not ready to raid gear wise. Then there is want to raid 1 (WR1) who dinged 80 and two days after he dinged he bought a frost resistance epic ring and ran reg CoS a couple times and said he was ready for sapph (thats who we were doing that night). Then there is want to raid 2 (WR2) who accepts every raid invite on the calendar (knowing he's not ready) and then makes 1 or two complaints about not being invited to raids then goes on his jolly way. Then there is me. Then there is out of the loop who is in his own world.
When I entered the guild the amount of huntard jokes circling around were phenomenal. So I worked hard. I attended every raid collected gear, researched my class, and boss fights, researched threat dynamics, tried to be as out going as I could. With time the huntard jokes went down to maybe 1 or two a day? Time passes, and our second hunter dings level 80 and the raid leader ask me to take him under my wing get him raid ready. (Unofficially dubbing me a class leader? He asks me to do this for 2 other hunters too.) So I happily accept it. I advise this hunter on everything and once he's raid ready he stops playing (not completly but barely ever on) So I say hey whatever more phat lewtz for me.
It comes time to down Sapph for our third time and the guild leader plans the event and sends the invite to all level 80s. However she didn't inspect any gear she just said at least 3 range dps, 4 healers, and 1 tank. Which is cool, but the night of the raid guess who demands a spot? WR1. Everyone is yelling at him saying your not going or getting a spot. So get on and people just scream at me "Lol talk to your hunter!" So I do. I do not know what he was think, he was BM leveling spec had 12 hit rating and 700-800 damage per shot with his gun, 1.4k attack power, 13% chance to crit. I don't laugh I tell him.
"Your most likely not coming tonight but I can help you out to get ready and you might get an invite next week." He happily agrees and takes all my advice. I make him a temporary spec to compliment the raid and his gear. I told him to first of all work on getting honored with wyrmrest for the one handed weapons for dual wielding. (+20 stam, +29 agil, +33 hit, +22 crit, I think.) So he respecs and then continues to ask for a spot in the raid. The Guild leader has been on a business trip for a week so she finally gets back right before the raid and hastily invites WR1.
WR1 was out dps by the tank... He pumped 564 dps, contributed to 5 wipes and caused 2 of them 100%. The huntard jokes have returned. Well today one of our mages found out he's 10 years old. Everyone started agreeing that 560 dps is good for a 10 year old. Friday our guild leader has another raid planned to teach all the new 80s about raiding and get them used to the atmosphere.
His name is Icedimond on shu'halo, I had him spec MM for trueshot aura for the raid since I keep replenishment up 100% of the time. I will be playing my ret pally come friday so we will have replenishment. Does anyone have any advice I could give him that I haven't already said?
(My hunter is dietoliveko on shu'halo and paladin is diestructo on shu'halo. That is if you want to see how his spec compliments the raid as compared to me.)

I noticed that too. I hope you mean wing, otherwise it paints a rather nasty picture.
Also, (can't resist): http://www.darklegacycomics.com/152.html
Point the kid to this site and tell him to click on the pre-raid gear list. Get one piece from that list on each slot and he should be better.
OK, I just clicked his armory.....if you are taking him under your wing then how in the poopoo does he have a cloak with Defense and strength on it. He also has a helm, belt, and boots with spell power. If are you to help him, I imagine these things would be the first to correct??????

Yeah thanks for pointing out the typo. I posted this like at 10:30 pm after naxxramas last night. Yeah he has alot of bad gear. I'm making him work up from the easiest to get to the hardest. Like I said first I have him upgrading his main hand weapon getting some wyrmrest accord.
Better ranged weapon needs to be toward the top of that list as well, R138 doesn't cut the mustard >.>;
Just let the kid play and have fun outside of raiding imo. He's not going to be even the slightest bit useful in a raid no matter what you do so if you take him, know that you are going to 9 man everything.
I know you told him to spec MM but is there any reason why he is 0/71/0.....

I looked at this guy's armory, and I could sense my Hunter rolling over in his grave.
Eeesh, that's pretty bad DPS, and his gear/spec definitely show that he has no idea what he's doing. The only think that comes to mind (besides simply not letting him raid) would be to give him some kind of skill test and telling him he can raid once he passes. Either he fails repeatedly and gives up, or he tries, learns to play his class a little better, and isn't such a drag on the raid. If only there was something like the quest to get this for level 80... no idea how much of a challenge that particular one would be for someone 20 levels too high, but I don't it would be sufficient just because of the level difference.
(And here I thought I had it bad with a hunter who won't trap, won't tranq, and is still using the Steelhawk Crossbow and Bladefist's Breath. >.< She at least breaks 1k DPS...sympathy cookies for you.)
