1: Fix your spec. This is the norm for all of us here.

2: shot rotations are dead. Steady doesnt interupt auto.

3: Glyphs. Get Glyph of Bestial Wrath, Glyph of Steady Shot, and either Glyph of Aspect of the Viper or Glyph of Serpent Sting.

4: Get a cat or scorpid. I use a cat personally.

5: For pulls, always use Bestial wrath whenever its up, along with your trinkets. Since you have two "use" trinkets, pop the pocket watch with the first bestial wrath, then the bladefist for the 2nd. Since your Bestial wrath is on a 70sec cool, its worth it to save trinkets for that.

5a: For single target mob fighting, open up with a serpent sting, then spam steady. For fights with 2 mobs, add multishot to the rotation (just use it when its off cooldown). For 3 or more, volley.

I think thats about it, anything else i missed?

/agree on the spec switch

Also
You really need new gear, and the best way to get it is to start running heroics. Any heroic you can get into will provide you with emblems--but there are some I would I would prioritize over others.

I recommend UK and Nexus everyday (they are the easiest and can provide you with a nice crossbow, mail bracers, and a decent trinket). Nexus is also one of the 5 emblem instances. They are also easy ways to get emblems. Gun is also very easy on heroic, with a decent tank and healer, and also provides 5 emblems. You can get a nice ring at Gun, but keep in mind that it is really better for melee dps than it is for you (it has lots of agility and ap--but it also has expertise), so in my opinion melee dps has priority to roll. It is unique-equip though, so if you run with the same guys, they can only get it once. These are, in my opinion, the easiest ways to get a number of emblems.

This may seem obvious, but I am constantly amazed by the number of people on my server who dont know about it--but you can now get rep with 4 factions by running heroics, and specific normal instances (CoT, Oc, and UP) while wearing their tabbord. Since you ARENT wearing one, I am assuming you dont know this. But it is one of the KEY ways to get gear, and a vital part of getting to raid quickly.

Get friendly with the 4 factions that offer this, Ebon Blade, Argent Crusade, Kirin Torr, and Wrymcrest but running their quests, and then buy the tabbord. As long as you wear it, you get huge rep gains whenever you run a heroic or one of the normal instances listed above.

Obviously, you can only wear one tabbord at a time, so I would wowhead each of the factions and see which has the gear you want most. My personal advice (and the route I took) was Ebon Blade first. I see them as having the best fast items for hunters. The shoulders and 2h sword would both be an upgrade 4 you, and are available at revered. You can also get the head-slot enchants at that point. To be honest, even the fist weapon would be an upgrade for you--if you have something for your main hand, cause your axe is all wrong--and that is available at honored. Some people put AC over EB, because there is an epic chest, but if you are running lots of heroics, you can get the emblem chest instead. So it is really a personal preference there. As a JC you also want to check out which factions have patterns that would help you.

Finally, your back is bad. Find a LW (preferably another hunter) and get them to make you the icestriker's cloak. Yes, it is stupidly purple, but as a miner you can get many of the mats yourself. You can also probably trade more of those eternals with the LW for his/her artic furs (assuming he/she is a skinner). That same LW can also make you bracers and legs. I would definitely recommend the legs, as the only other pair that would be available to you is in Heroic HoS--and I dont think you really have the gear for that yet--but it depends on who you are running with.
