GC I'm really disappointed at the BM comment

It makes me a sad panda that BM will just be "That leveling spec", I was under the impression in 3.0 (you've preached over and over) you want to make BM more viable in PvE. Yet after we took our nerfs around 3.0 we have never really recovered from it. I'm really curious if our sidelining was due to TBC, because in 3.0 BM has pretty much taken the backseat. The Beast Within was kicked in the manhood for the sake of a 3s (Arena), and you didn't even put it back on Readiness.

BM's only real signature shot is Arcane (if you spec for Imp AS in MM), where at MM and SV get an awesome 51pt talent yet BM is left with a trivial "special pet", fun if you want to run around Ironforge with a spirit beast I'd assume. You have talked over and over and over about how you were going to fix BM and maybe even give it a sig Shot, but after your comments about sorry no more chances to BM go raid MM and SV that really rules out any fixes.

I really wanted to bring this guy out of the woodworks in 3.3, I missed raiding on my Hunter but now that I know your intentions for BM back to retire status. There have been a few nice tweaks in the BM tree but most of the changes were suited for pure damage (which we need in a big way), and it's almost impossible to pick up all the talents we need to be within 15% of MM. Go head and delete my post, ban me from the forums, because I feel like you've already turned your back on Beast Mastery.

I really hope you do give us a signature shot and fix our 51pt vanity talent...

signing off...

Very disappointed BM Hunter.
