Re #3,
In burning crusade, no one wanted elemental or enhancement shamans for dps because they had no CC. With CC becoming nearly non-existent in dungeons (and raids too, except gimmick fights), people just want DPS and don't care if you're an enhancement shaman, DK, or Rogue (people will occasionally want specifically ranged DPS though, but it's usually not class-based).
If you tell a group leader that you're a DPS, and you were first to ask, you'll be invited... the possible exception will be people who don't want competition for gear drops, so they look at other armor-type-dps than them. This is not very common though.

You still compete. The only gear you know isn't for hunters is stuff with expertise (since that doesn't affect ranged attacks). The upside is that they've done this with all classes. A cloth drop with no hit rating doesn't automatically make it priest gear. Mages, Priests, and Warlocks all itemize the same now with the exception of hit rating. Leather could be druid or rogue. Armor is fairly ambiguous now. They wanted drops to be available to more classes so it wasn't shard shard shard.
So, 1) There's MORE drop competition, but 2) you have a better chance at a drop you can use (they lowered the number of items a given boss drops, compared to BC)
