As Olon said above, warriors NEED the initial beatdown to get rage to effectively crowd control the mobs. This is why often warriors prefer to charge into mobs if situation permits; they get both initial aggro and extra rage. If the hunter pulls 3 mobs, how the warrior is going to get them all off him without rage? He can use bloodrage for a shout, but that costs life, which costs mana to priest, which also means more aggro generated, etc.
The Big Red Arrow ™ is not enough to make hunter the best puller. It will take either an ability to transfer aggro to tank, or an ability to pull single mobs even when the mobs are within bring-a-friend range of each other. As it stands now, hunters really have no other role then a filler in high-end instances.
Interesting read, but it seems the author needs to play a tank or priest to understand their point of view. Oh, and doesn't feint death cause rez sickness? I would rather prefer to resurrect the puller and deal with durability loss then have to deal with half-able group member.
