As an on-use trinket with no passive agility, the Kiroptic Sigil may not seem all that appealing. It also does not compare favorably on spreadsheets with other trinkets this tier (as Frostheim discusses here). However, it ends up being better than we might first expect.
The Raid Finder is designed to open raiding to a wider audience, and so it is fair to view the Raid Finder as an expression of what Blizzard wants raiding for this larger audience to be. It is accessible, quick, undemanding, forgiving, and convenient. It is in many ways the opposite of what we might stereotypically expect a raid to be (exclusive, long, taxing, unforgiving and inconvenient). In this way the Raid Finder is a very dramatic departure from past approaches to raiding. This post explores some of the consequences of this departure.

A Treatise on Strategy is probably the hardest to acquire quest item for the new Darkmoon Faire, in part because it only drops from particular heroic dungeon bosses. According to WoW Insider the treatise sells for 20k or so on those rare occasions when it does show up at an auction house. This means that players who want gold and players who want achievements both have a reason to want to get their hands on it. An issue with the current loot system, though, is that anyone in a group can role on the treatise if it happens to drop in a Heroic. Hunters, fortunately, have the option of soloing for it.
It looks like 4.3.2 will hold a nice change for SV according to MMO-Champion: Lock and Load will no longer consume Arcane Shots. Kaivax embellished on this change and Blizzard’s thoughts on hunters in general in an informative post:

Hunters are in a bit of a bind when it comes to mitigating damage. Blizzard seems to prefer that hunters run away from damage rather than reduce its effects, but on many bosses avoiding damage is simply not an option. This is problematic in the current tier where our dps is low enough that raids are less likely to overlook our deficiencies in passive and off-global mitigation. We are not entirely without options for survivability, though, as I discuss after the cut.
Blizzard has done something strange in their their recent changes to the Resistance is Futile talent. The ability now works as it should with both Hunter’s Mark and Marked for Death but, the thing is, it also does more. The ability procs off of applications of Hunter’s Mark and Marked for Death, even on stationary targets. This means that, among other things, you can get a proc from spamming Arcane Shot onto a target dummy (without Hunter’s Mark up, of course). The procs appear to have no internal cooldown and can occur before KC has even come off cooldown; the general frequency of procs from MfD applications on stationary targets appears to be somewhat sparse, though.
