Any Hunter meleeing is being unwise. The main useful melee talent is Improved Wing Clip. A Hunter who uses Deterrence to go toe-to-toe with real melee classes in pvp will get murdered. The purpose of melee for hunters in pvp will remain to stick a wing clip on and get distance. Occasionally you can finish off an opponent or you resort to melee out of desperation against someone you can't get out of your dead zone but it's in no way a viable fighting method against players

Yes, but now that so many hunters will have it you can hit it and then wing clip and take even less damage while getting distance. Sure you won't want to go toe to toe, but deterence since it ups your parry and not just your dodge will still be good to pop even against a warrior since. Then you wing clip while avoiding any damage they can put on you and get back to range on them. I have a hunter that I built as a melee hunter for PvE just to see and detereance is a great skill for stopping damage. And if improved wing clip doesn't go on the first swing to imobilize you can now stand around, not taking damage and try it again with deterance running. Or much more easily clip 2 opponents with much less worry.
