Yes, hunters should be able to roll on this.

HOWEVER!!!  This is primarily a retadin/arms war weapon.  Do you see rogues/wars rolling on epic ranged dps weapons when the hunters need them?  Highly doubt it.  The classes that get the most use of an item should be prioritized, which amazingly - means the OP class that hunter is needs to realize they need to sit back and not roll on every piece of melee gear there is and let those that MELEE get their upgrades before them.
