New Hunter talent trees

[Roland]

A ranged form of crowd control that works on anything?  I think a lot of people would jump at it.  Keep in mind that as a Hunter, you can get out of combat at any time using Feign Death, so the out of combat restriction is not particularly meaningful. 

Especially in Molten Core, where things charge in gigantic packs, being able to split them up is critical.  Previously, this was accomplished by way of distracting shots and timed charge-taunts from the tanks; wyvern sting now makes it trivial.  A few wyvern stings and a large pack becomes a neat line of sleeping mobs.  Blackwing Lair also has a number of pulls where wyvern sting becomes a tremendous asset.

You know, this skill DOES have a cooldown. 2 minutes may not seem like a lot, but it's certainly enough to keep you from chain-casting it, so to speak. And also keep in mind that a) it's a Sting (I think), therefore only one can be active per Hunter (and multiple Stings of the same kind do not stack, IIRC - correct me if I am wrong), B) it only lasts 12 seconds (a fractional amount of time in any heavy battle, but still not to be ignored; 12 seconds early- to mid-game is very significant, but in the late game I can't see it buying you much breathing room), and c) it has a 12-second DoT. This has two drawbacks: for one, it takes up one of those oh-so-precious "Debuff" slots, and for another it means it can't be taken out of combat for another 12 seconds. Furthermore, it's not like multiple Hunters could "chain" Wyvern Sting together on the same mob, unless they somehow managed to take it out of combat every 24 seconds (I don't see how that is at all possible, so please enlighten me if it is).
