Ret Paladins should get this before Hunters. If you think a ranged class should get a stat stick over a class that will actually swing the weapon you're a terribad player and should uninstall. Vice vera, Warriors and rogues should not get a ranged over a Hunter. If you think the opposite you're also a terribad player.
Passing a stat stick to a class that is going to replace it in a couple weeks is not always the smartest thing to do. I'm sure there are plenty of guilds that would rather have their hunters pick up their best-in-slot then see it go to BurritoMan so he could sate his greed for a week or two before getting Apolyon the Soul-Render. Well, that would apply if BurritoMan was ever going to get into SWP.
I'll go uninstall now, since BurritoMan said I should.
