Attack Power Bonus on Items

[Ruvanal]

I've noticed that there are two types of attack power in WoW/TBC - melee and ranged - but that many items have just a "power" or "attack power" bonus, i.e. the new craftable Felscale Armor Set in TBC.

Does that attack power bonus apply to both melee and ranged? Would it make sense for a Hunter to choose the Elemental Leatherworking path to get the epic craftable Primalstrike Set, or is this a Rogue/Cat Druid set because its attack power bonus is melee only?

The attack power on item like the ones you linked will apply to both melee and ranged. I would not really want the Primalstrike Set for my hunter since the armor is so low (gives a poor bonus to the pet). Also the set bonus is not particularly useful to a hunter in my opinion.
