While you added to a few of the owner stats pets benefit from, hunter pets will see no benefit in that we do not collect expertise gear. Was it not going to be a bit more broad scaling? I also remain concerned about "super buffs" not passing along to the pet. Runes of Power & Storm Clouds boost a PC's damage significantly, but when a PC only accounts for ~56% of the damage, it's hard to keep up with the Jones...
I know you have a lot on your plate. I know we're not so far behind as to be a liability to non hardcore progression guilds. That said, if you're gonna take a look at us, which you said you were, I'd like to add my 2c.
My gut feeling tells me that trying to prop us up with a buff to our talents is not the way to go, increasing pet scaling is. Logically, if pets only receive a limited benefit from a select few meaningful dps stats, you're going to have to tinker talents for pet centered classes/specs every single upgrade in content. Giving pets meaningful scaling from the PC's dps stats and buffs seems to be the best way to go, even if it means nerfing us at the talent level.
