In a tough instance battles I would think we should have at least two beast mastery spec'd hunters who's pets are tanking with growl on, focused on pet heal. The other three would need to focus on marksmanship and maximize DPS, having their pets grab adds, or help the tanks (but with growl off). Now, if Blizzard ever addresses the worthlessness of the survival tree then we'd have other options.

I'm kind of liking the orc idea and so am thinking that I will create an orc hunter shortly. The one slight change I see is that maybe we should allow those who go down the marksmanship line to get cat pets. They will not be doing as much tanking and so the added dps might be more useful and cats can still tank in emergencies and might even be better at peeling mobs off something if it is needed because of their dps. Of course, this would conflict with the clan of the cave bear idea, but its something to consider. My plan is to make an orc engineer and work on getting her up to about lvl 12 or so. That'll give me a pet and put me about the right level for crossroads. So I say that we gather there.
