    Perhaps, but why gimp your dps by a huge factor? You can shoot almost as fast, because of shot rotations with steady shot, and get the same crit rates. In fact, you should definitely not take this as a SV hunter for it, because your crit rate is already skyrocketed so that every 3.00 weapon will crit just about every other hit for you, which means that EW up-time is nearly constant. Gimping your dps by 1/3 does not justify a marginal or inconsequential uptime of EW.

      Im a hunter. In a raid, i'll be happy to pass it to the tank, bcoz a tank has a more important role than me in my group

      1) +310 health         
      2) +1.1% dodge chance

      end of story, tank gets it, every1 happy :). now lets see how a BM hunter benefits from this REALLY FAST gun (more in pvp).

      1) +310 health
      2) +1.1% dodge chance
      3) bonus from Scope
      4) bonus from bullet
      5) bonus from critical chance(auto shot proc 100% more than a 3.00)
        a)leader of the pack
        b)crit scope
        c)go for throat(talent)
        d)kill command(pet)
        c)lethal shot(talent)
        d)mortal shot
      6) bonus from Attack power
        a)armor set
        b)trinkets
        c)buffs(blessing of might/ king)
        d)Imp hunter's mark(auto shot charges 100% faster than 3.00, [+440 attack power to ALL physical attacks of ur group and pets]
        e)EW
        f)trueshot aura

      7) humanoid slaying, monster slaying

      8) overall, u get a more powerful Bestial wrath.

      9) auto shot can interrupt casting 100% more than 3.00(+cobra reflexes, 3 sec+ spell is almost impossible to cast)

      10) it actually allows u to fire more auto shots than a 3.00 when u r kitting a melee(let say u can stop and shoot for 4 sec(which consider long in melee kitting, wiv a 3.00, u can only make 1 auto shot, but wiv this gun, u get 2 auto shots).

      and 1 more thing i like to point out about hunter's dps in a group. we are more a support a class, when u read the damage meter, hav u consider the passive buff we giv, namely imp hunter's mark>> +440 attack power, thats double the pally's blessing of might, its a +220 strength bonus to ur warrior(cept for block rating), its 
      +440 strength bonus to ur rogue. expose weakness.. trueshot aura..  ferocious inspiration.. if all this bonuses is counted as hunter's dmg, i think we can easily stay on top of ur dmg meter. these r all my humble opinion bout Hunter, i hav a warrior tank too, i would surely love to tank wiv this gun, but i also see how this baby shines in the hand of a good hunter. :)

        This would never occur.  No "good" hunter would ever think of equipping this item.

        Came back here after a year to see the ensuing debates on this gun...  Pity some hunters still think it's for them or quasi-viable in pvp.  All the caster interrupt arguments, lol, try using your pet.  It'll have the same effect. 

        I suppose you could buy a BT run from one of the more progressed guilds on your server if you're hell bent on getting this for pvp though, heck, maybe you'll even be able to pick up the brutalizer along the way. 
                  ...Just be prepared for the remarks that appear on your realm forums afterwards though.

        Nothing there has anything to do with the gun, you just made a list of Hunter abilities.
        /golfclap

        By the way, I seriously hope that when you kite someone in PvP, you're jumping, turning, and using instant shots.
        Standing still is like saying "HEY WARIOR, IM GONA WAIT HERE SO U CAN INTERCEPT ME K?"
