What skills should I be using when?

Hey guys, started WoW a week back or so, and I've decided to go ahead and play hunter. However I have some questions:
1) PvE: What skills should I be using? I just spam concussive shot and arcane shot, and steady shot when out of focus. I use disengage when necessary and kill shot as much as possible.
2) PvP: I am ALWAYS out of focus. I space arcane shot here, and 5-6 shots and I'm left with no focus. Usually, only brings down enemy HP to 1/2, and I have to steady shot some focus back. I use silencing arrow and killshot in PvP quite a lot, along with Widow Venom, scare beast and some others. Dont really know how to use traps tho. What should I be using?
3) Should I be wearing mail now since I got the agil passive?

Wow, cannot believe I forgot to include my spec and level. I am a 40 troll hunter, and I chose MM as my spec. I did read up that BM is the best PvP spec atm, but I didn't like it, so I chose MM instead.
Also, what do you use in PvP? Just spam Arcane Shot and Steady shot? I've been doing that, but there are priests who keep healing and it's very annoying.
Another thing, I have encountered hunters hitting me for 1.6k dmg with their guns....how they obtain such a high number? If they're using aimed shot, does that mean guns are much stronger than bows? I only hit a measly 1k with my aimed shot, and I lose half my focus, how are they managing to take away 1/2 my HP with 1 hit and then killing me in the next 5 seconds without running out of focus?

If this is your first character (by reading OP it seems it is) your gear will be vastly inferior to others, as high level characters ( 80-90) can buy "bind-on-account" items, which give quite large boosts to leveling toons, as the gear levels up, as the character does.

If you don't like BM, may I suggest SV as an alternative to MM? I love SV, and generally stick with it even when it isn't the top spec, as long as it is viable. I find it much more natural than BM in terms of rotation/shot priority. Also, I am currently leveling up a new hunter with zero heirlooms and no outside assistance from my main toons (it's an experiment) and I have had zero issues questing or keeping up with and beating with even BOA geared players in dungeons. If you'd like to try it, I can give you an exact shot priority, but I am not very familiar with MM.
What I do know, though, is that unless there is some ability in MM that makes concussive shot into something hard hitting, it's a waste of focus to spam it in PvE. If the mobs are chasing you and you need to slow them, it means that either your pet isn't taunting or your tank sucks. Things that slow movement, stun, etc. are not part of the normal rotation for PvE and shouldn't be spammed. They are mostly for PvP, or occasionally kiting mobs as part of a boss mechanic.
