Thanks to all you folks who sent this in...Eyonix has revealed in the WoW forums that the hunter talents and spells are on their way, and they could be revealed as soon as the end of this week or the beginning of the next. He also urges a little patience and appreciates everyone waiting for a bit longer.
While this info is not 100% for sure, as I have seen some forum promises go unfulfilled, it is nice to get a tentative time line. Hunters...your wait is almost over!

I'm glad to at least get a window. For a while, all we had was "Soon."
Granted, things could always get pushed back, but I think they'll stick to this. I hope, anyway.

Orange Hunting Vest of Nature Resistance ftw!
I read that they might not be giving Hunters more stable slots. That's bogus. My level 12 Hunter wants more stable slots. Sometimes you want to run an Owl, othertimes a Wolf, and in Arathi Basin, something stealthy. You might be able to keep 3, but not train them. Or you keep two and envy every other hunter out there because they've got a so-and-so and you can't because you've invested time and loyalty in your pets, all two of them.
Why don't they do it like the key bag, the higher your level the more stable slots you get? Who doesn't want to keep their first pet, Fluffy of Teldrassil, an armored boar from RFK, a white owl from Winterspring, a bloodseeking bat from ZG, and a worg from LBRS?
Another way of doing it, they could give "Pet Management" (or "Stable Boy") as a high tier talent in Beast Mastery. 5/5 will get you +5 stable slots (+1 stable slot per point invested in this talent). If you're investing in your pets by going Beast Mastery, then it would be cool if they gave you more slots. If you respec, you lose the slots (and whatever pet you had in there is stored until you reopen it with another respec in that talent.) Would folks be willing to sacrifice up to 5 talent points in this? I'd think so. This would give the Beast Master options to keep pets that can 1) tank, 2) dps, 3) stealth, 4) charge, 5) buff the party, 6) look cool, and 7) tell the world you've been places. (Level 12 Tauren with an Owl for instance.)

There were actually 5 posts from a Dev in a thread about DR on scattershot and ice traps. He said that they were almost ready, and just need to be translated to different regions, so I think that means next tuseday will be the release date. Also, he said that the CMs were laying low because they don't have much info, but will be appearing in much greater numbers and frequency after the talent previews to answer all of our questions.
