Excellent post Frost, quick question,

"If MD is available, I lead with Explosive Shot, Serpent Sting, Black Arrow." Do you use Serpent first or Explosive? because you said earlier:

"You want to be in Aspect of the Hawk and start the fight by applying Hunter's Mark (Don't forget this! It's 1,772 attack power!) and Serpent Sting.
- Explosive Shot

So on Single Target fights with MD available do you use Serpent sting or Explosive Shot first?

After Misdirecting, you want to fire Explosive shot first to give the tank a big threat lead and to make sure each tick of ES fall in the 4 sec. MD zone.

Serpent Sting is not really part of our rotation since it's permanently extended through our Cobra Shot. That's why it was put before the rotation in the above paragraph. But if you are Misdirecting, you always want to use Explosive Shot first.

for any hunter out there looking for a threat management macro here is it:

#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast [@focus,help][help][@pet,exists] Misdirection

.. it has helped me immensely when trying to manage my threat. (just set your tank as focus at the beginning of the dun/raid .. the pet part is in case your tank dies - it will automatically select your pet for the misdirection..) hope this helps for anyone out there who is looking for a decent misdirection macro.
