Rapid Fire, Flaming Shots and Bear Traps, oh my?

Birthday presents for Hunters! Currently planning to replace Flaming Shots, return Rapid Fire to Marksmanship, and add Bear Trap to Survival

Tweet from Blizzard Developer Celestalon  late this afternoon.   Sounds great!  Rapid Fire is great for MM, and I can't imagine anyone was really all that excited about Flaming Shots.

And Bear Trap!  I know what you're thinking, but it's not that kind of bear trap. Bear Trap was introduced in Wrath,  but then, as far as I can tell, was never implemented.  You can find it on NPCs like Harold Lane, who you may have assassinated.  It's basically just a root with a bleed. It'll be interesting to see how (or if) it plays out in Warlords.  

Also on twitter tonight,when someone called Focusing Shot "Boring"  Celestalon replied:

@Spinner981 From playtesting, it's far from boring; it has a significant impact on your rotation, has a high skill cap.

Focusing Shot currently sounds a little clunky to me, but I'm in favor of anything that has a higher damage output possibility while requiring a higher skill cap.   Regardless, I'm glad to hear they're putting a bit more thought into WoW's premiere class, the hunter.
