Personally, I rather you don't do this. At least no serpent sting or dots. FD Freeze trap would be ideal. However, this depends on your group composition.
In 5 man LBRS, a hunter kept trying to venom sting, and it guaranteed extra wipes.
1) Nothing really 'eats' a good healer with their hot button on fade.
2) We had two CC'ers, plus Hunter FD + Freeze trap combo mid battle if he ever was smarter.
When anything moved the least bit toward the healer, the hunter tried to solo. BAD IDEA. Our mage and I were trying to CC the sucker, especially previously sapped/poly'ed high priority targets.
Still, its a judgement call between your party composition and battle situation. If no CC's are ever coming and there's no fade...
But preferably, no serpent please. Scatter and freeze trap if you really want to peel. That's a lot safer.

Hunters have track everything on their radar. They're first line of recon against incoming mobs. This feature is more important in some places than others. PvP areas is the most obvious, but anywhere where there's a high priority patrol like MC, DM, or just a lot of patrols like Scholo. . . hunters should be pinging the radar like mad and announcing what's incoming.
