Hello everyone, I just dinged 80 yesterday, and I'm wondering what I should do. I have a small list from a hunter friend in-game, but I was wondering what I should throw my talent points into. I have dual spec, although its un-used at the moment. What glyphs, gear, and talents I have are what I used to level, but I know they may not be good enough for 5-mans and heroics. Any help would be appreciated.
Me.

The first thing I would do if your are going to get into raiding is cap your hit. Point for point, hit gives you the biggest DPS increase out of any stat.
Since your rep with them is a little low, I would work on getting rep with Wyrmrest Accord so you can get yourself a pair of

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=41976 on each one, you can get a whopping 61 hit per fang. Paired, that's 122 hit rating!
There's also a decent ring out of an Icecrown quest chain that unlocks the Argent Crusade.

You can also do some chanting as well to help your hit.
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=44488 20 Hit to gloves.
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=60623 12 Hit, 12 Crit to boots.
With three points in Focused Aim, your hit cap as a non-draenei is 163.
In pursuit of better stats, DO NOT be afraid to throw on leather armor. Items like

As a fresh 80 hunter, one of the first heroics you should focus on mastering is Utgarde Keep. There are two reasons for this:

Utgarde Keep

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37407http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37373http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37390The Nexus
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37170http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37167http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37144The Violet Hold
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37886http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37861That should be enough to get you started. Nexus and UK are the heroics I would start with first, and since most players, new and old alike are trying to get easy emblems, getting a group together should be cake.
