It's attracted the usual flaming and cries of doom from the hunter community over on WoW Europe but I really like these changes and hope they come to pass
So how credible is it? Well the talent changes seem very much in the vein of those the other classes got: group buffs in trees most people would consider soloing/pvp trees, top talents which are intriguing rather than obviously super-powerful and the Aspect of the Viper and Steady Shot skills that people are pretty sure will be there. In the WoW Europe thread someone insists he has confirmation from Alpha. In addition Kalgan has told the EU community the talents would be made public this week if at all possible so the timing is right for a leak
One never knows until it's officially confirmed but I think these may well be the talents and skills additions Hunters will start off with in BC Alpha
Edit: pet skills also available
