AP and arrows and such will add on top, so I would think they get no bonus.Makes sense. Kind of depressing really, consider the fact that the bulk of your DPS for a marksmanship hunter is coming from the bonus AP. At level 35 a hunter might reasonably be using the Silver Plated Shotgun with a scope and solid shot to hit around 50 DPS. Of that, only 10.4 DPS are coming from that gun. A 1% increase in weapon DPS is going to give you a .104 DPS increase which matches the listed results.
Passive talents generally are pretty conservative.

The skill isn't going to give you a staggering visible DPS increase no matter how you slice it. At level 60 at 5 points in, even if you find the Dwarven Hand Cannon (a GREAT end game weapon) you're still only getting 1.74 additional DPS from this skill. That great hunter damage is still primarily coming from your bonus AP.
