I've used Dire Beast a lot this expansion, and frankly I'm a little tired of it, as most of the dire beasts are too large for my tastes. So I'd prefer to see it remain an optional ability, rather than be baked into the BM shot rotation. Conversely, I love the idea of adding Murder of Crows to Kill Shot and the Master's Call ferrets!

The ammo idea is interesting; it could even be used as a replacement for aspects in the UI.

Think you forgot to go back and finish the "New Spells" section. Are you saying that we would get race-specific hunter mounts?

I like the idea of normal families getting more pet abilities in BM spec, but I would probably limit it to one new ability rather than two.

And of course, I still love Arachnophobia

Ammo Bag and Quiver makes a comeback and aesthetically changes depending on your equipped weapon. At level 1 you will have a passive called 'Ammo Container', which displays ammo bag or quiver on your toon.
