BC Hunter talent confirmation?

Well the evidence is starting to stack up in support of the earlier leaked Burning Crusade alpha hunter talents.An intrepid alpha tester sent us this image which shows the apparent hunter talents which just so happen to match up perfectly with the earlier leak we received.
Seeing as how the talents are imminently going to released it would lend some credibility to these leaks as they would likely be in the alpha test already.
It seems as though virtually all the class talents were successfully leaked before they were released so the timing on this one seems about right. No word on new skills or pets in this image however.
This grumpy hunter certainly hopes the official ones are released with a quickness as my 57 warrior is starting to look mighty attractive as my new main.

I alt a hunter. Had one since launch. With all the changes up to this point. Ive seen marksman+survival really buff the hell outa hunter. The pets were FIXED not buffed in my opinnion. And I am not happy with beast spec still.
I love my beast spec don't get me wrong but when I compare it to the other trees I feel we got the shaft.
BW got nerfed with all the crying....what the hell is what I have to say.
Beast spec should be so focused on pet improvement over self. If i wanted to improve myself I would go marks or survival, but I dont want that.
I hope that the beast tree gets better...cause right now I am the odd ball in raids...regular parties learn to love my pet (if built well).
Since my Kitty kitty can off tank well ..very well. Ive had praises from groups...
But the pet appreciation is very low. Ive surprised healers with my pets performance and good healers recognizing my kitty's value heal him... I tend to do very well in groups that take my pet in consideration.
But pets still lack the "umph" i expect from a beast tree. Though in pvp I do pretty well...too many folks ignore my cat ..I intimidate go passive drop trap..dash off...send pet in again...Wraith..and watch them panic jump ^^
anyway.... I pray for more pet love.

There are two things that makes me think these are fake.
1) +Crit and +Hit do not follow the new system
2) there is a total of +6 to hit in the talents a hunter can get. With a max of +8.6 this makes a lot of gear useless.

I am not pleased. These talents are lame in comparison to what other classes are getting. Is this supposed to be what we hunters have been waiting so fucking long for. Unacceptable!!

These hunter talents are VERY weak compared to the talents of the other classes.... Yeah, some decent talents, but they are all spread out in different trees, while the other classes all have a POWER tree that has amazing talents.
