Your gear should be fine for Karazhan assuming you have some idea how to play your character.
Getting the
Abacus of Violent Odds and
Hourglass of the Unraveller is a good goal but more immediately you might want to pick up
Terokkar Tablet of Precision if you can to improve your hit rating.
Your talents need a few changes, it looks like you've favored soloing to the point where you have hurt your raid damage and utility. Most importantly you need to pick up Ferocious Inspiration, with a fast attacking pet that will be active almost all the time and nothing you can individual will match the damage that will add to half the raid. Take some points out of Thick Hide or Endurance Training to pick that up and possibly Improved Revive Pet as well depending on how well you manage your pet.
Everything else is negotiable as a matter of personal preference but I'll suggest that Bestial Swiftness will not help you in a raid group and the point might be better spent in Improved Mend Pet or Animal Handler if you don't think you need it when soloing. Also consider taking Improved Hunters Mark over Efficiency if your mana pool can last long enough for a boss fight since the extra attack power may affect a large portion of your raid's damage.

Here is the cookie cutter BM raid spec. You can sub out the Improved Hunter's Mark for Efficiency if you have mana troubles. :)
And is it just me, or is the 2-set bonus on the Stalker's set +35 Resilience, not Hit rating? Try to find some gloves and pants with either some hit rating on them, or some gem spots where you can throw in some +Hit gems.
Midnight Legguards from Heroic Slave Pens would be a good upgrade, even though they do lack some mana.
The boots you currently have could last you a while, long enough to get
Fiend Slayer Boots from Kara. I was Hit capped when those dropped, and just recently replaced my Vindicator's boots with
Quickstrider Moccasins from Hyjal, so don't be ashamed about wearing those boots for a while.
Other than that, throw some enchants on your gear, keep your eyes open for a new trinket, maybe a +28 crit scope on your xbow (they're spendy, I know!) and you'll be topping the charts in no time! Have fun in Kara, man.

Ur right , the set bonus is resil :S Way to put ur foot in ur mouth Samurai! :P I got a new ring yesterday from kara , working on capping my hit rating asap. I should aim for 113+ correct ? I'm not sure of the exact number but I'm pretty sure I should have at least 100 rating. (what is the cap btw) ? The scope I'd love to get but it seems no one on Llane crafts them. I've been spamming for 2 days now.
Changes have been made to my gear , and I'll probably change my spec before the day is out, I'm just waiting on more input to see if anyone has any interesting , un-orthodox ideas that I might want to hear.
Haha, no worries mate. 142 Hit rating is the cap for raid bosses, but I think 96 Hit rating is the cap for Heroic bosses and raid trash (could someone correct me if I'm wrong?). However, there are certain things to consider. If you have a draenei in your group, you could get the inspiring presence buff which increases your chance to hit by 1%.
There is some Hit rating food (
Spicy Hot Talbuk) which helps out a bit too. You want a 9% chance to hit, and you can figure that out by hovering over your hit rating. So if you had 8% chance to hit, and the draenei "Inspiring Presence" buff, you would be hit capped.
A lot of stuff like that is helpful, but keep this in mind: Your group make-up will never be consistant. It's better to be self-sufficient than to rely on others.
Keep gettin' those upgrades, man. :)
