I have a 60 paladin (Topal), a 60 rogue (Sigyn), and a 51 priest (Threeler, my namesake) on Gurubashi. I've been playing this game since it came out and it's just that, a game, but part of a game is following certain rules and a simple rule of thumb is "don't be selfish". Hunters get a bad rep for needing on everything because too often they do. I've had +Int gear lost on my Pally (mail in SM before I hit 40, though I have no idea why besides the fact that the game was new and no one really knew any better) and +Agi gear lost on my Rogue (leather.. post 40..) and there are some simple guidelines I think that should be set.
1) Do not roll on ranged weapon upgrades if you are a rogue or warrior over a hunter.
2) Do not roll on melee weapon upgrades if you are a hunter over a melee class.
3) Do not roll on any sort of armor that is not your top rank above someone else of that rank. (to all you cloth-adins out there making priests hate us)
You don't need to flip out when something purple drops. Look at what it is before rolling, and maybe you'll realize it's nothing special anyway. I've seen druids need on the Carapace from Rend's mount just because it was epic. That's not cool.
And, in closing, think of it like this: If instead of +Agi and +RAP it had +SD and +Int, would a mage roll on it? When it comes to end game raids, and honestly most level 55+ groups (which is what any player with this weapon must be in), that's what your mentality should be in a lot of cases as a hunter, and if you're a PVP hunter and fleeing from people in AV (as someone mentioned above) you're probably screwed anyway.
Also, in regards to another contested item: Rend's hands are for combat rogues. They get the most out of them, even more than fury warriors and hunters, thus that's a bigger "need" than you've got.
Thank you, have a nice day.
