Hunters have been getting a lot of attention lately as Blizzard tries to tone down PvP utility and burst but still keep PvE DPS viable.
One of the newest changes on the 5.4 PTR is the addition of Counter Shot, a baseline ability to interrupt spells.
I think this would be a great change, although I'm not sure if it would make it into the game in its current form. After all, an interrupt is pretty powerful, which is why PvE and PvP hunters alike felt forced to take Silencing Shot as their 2nd tier talent.
If we did get Counter Shot, I would definitely feel free to take either my old favourite spell, Intimidation, or most probably Wyvern Sting (due to the shorter cooldown and CC potential) instead... which makes me wonder, if we *did* get Counter Shot, would we have the opposite problem that we have now, where no-one takes Silencing Shot rather than everyone?
We've always been a rather odd class to handle - jack of all trades, master of none. Probably the most versatile class for any one role (PvP, PvE, farming, soloing) with heaps of utility, but none of the raw killing power of the other classes.
Really don't envy the Blizz developers trying to sort this one out!

We have decent personal utility, but we have no raid-wide utility.
I thought I read that silencing shot ill no longer be a talent. It will go back to mm only and counter shot turns into silencing shot when you swap to mm. They should improve silencing shot for mm though, make it worth being turned into a different spell.
Well, a silence is more powerful than a spell school lockout.
