Probably done most of those several times, if not at least once or twice...

My favorite is one of the times we were on Saurfang, pre-ICC-buff. Bow broke midfight, so I ran up and started meleeing and dropping traps... and we still almost beat him. Wasn't an enrage issue though that wiped us that time.

Your guild wiped due to an enrage the other time?
And melee hunter actually works a bit on that fight, trapping and wingclipping. Just gotta make sure that the ranged grab aggro first.

Only try that if your hunter sucks. Seriously.

Oh thought of another one!

Accidental targeting and shooting a hostile player. I was quite quickly dispatched. I was only level 20 or so at the time and on my horde toon and was watching some really high level alliance toons attacking the guards etc. Not paying attention I shot one. After rez-ing I groveled in general chat hoping the would understand me.

But yeah. Not a good move. :lol:

Yeah, we hit enrage a few times on our guild runs the first few weeks when everyone was still rocking all ToC gear. We did have one attempt where me and the other hunter in our guild ended up both distracting shotting on successive beast spawns in the same attempt too, from mistargets, which was pretty funny after the fact.

Set down Freezing Trap to deal with an incoming add, so I can fight everything else, and accidently right click on the one I've just frozen /facepalm. Or my Worm spits just as the mob steps on the trap! Grrr :evil:

I totally didn't hit the button for my parachute cloak while flying high over Schola on Stereo today.

*Parachute ends a few meters before it*
"AUUGGGGhhhhhhhhh...!"

MD'd to the healer instead of the tank.

Their names were only 2 letters different in my defense. hehe

Something I occasionally find myself doing (although I've learned to catch it sooner, lol):
  • First fight after entering an instance, I think I'm winding up SS only to find that I just laid down a cooking fire (hotkey is same as my SS hotkey on a different action bar)
I have also done this after rezing my pet (that key is on the same action bar as my cooking).

I've done several of the ones listed. We wouldn't be hunters if we didn't right ;)

Good old forgetting pets on aggressive and entering a random dungeon...thats always good.
MD'ing onto the wrong target...my guild no longer assigns me on MD duties unless am the only hunter...good times
setting the wrong trap and pulling extra mobs...
havent run out of ammo in a long time...but its a good thing I kept my weapons skills maxed.
