Much luck on yet another hunter. Edit: OMG! :D

Two weeks ago I started another hunter thanks to $5 RAF, and after a week full of Christmas art projects I was finally able to finish up leveling her. I like common skin pets but I have accepted the fact that I simply cannot resist taming rares. 
This new hunter is a lovely space goat and she is on the same server as my horde toons, which is a medium population server. With all of the other new characters being leveled up with RAF, I was surprised to have as much luck as I have 
Here's my list of pets:
King Krush (that was a rough one to get at 75!)
Arcturis
Loque
Skoll
Spiteflayer
Terrorpene (tamed at 81 first try
)
Madexx (red, my second favorite color yay!)
...and in the past 30 or so hours, after I dinged 85:
Minutes after I opened up dailies and was killing Nemesis with my little turtle friends, NPCScan blares but it doesn't pop up a little target pane, presumably because I was in combat. I check my chat log and it's Ban'thalos! I headed over, managed to balance on the tree on only my second try (my other two hunters are engineers but this one isn't), and tamed him easily. I headed into the portal and found Kirix, Skitter and Skarr up. I headed up to tame Skarr but when I got there, an undead was waiting next to him and killed me. The undead tamed his pet, I /congratulated him, and I headed over to Skitter's spot. Unfortunately, I forgot to shoot Skitter out of the third trap and he died :,( I originally planned on leaving Kirix alone but was bummed after killing Skitter, so I decided to tame him the cheesy way. I've tamed him the real way on two hunters, but my last one had only 110k hp for the tame and it was a huge headache. My new hunter has only 104k hp so I figured the cheese way was the only way, so on my second try the pretty green spider was mine. I headed over to Deth's spot (she wasn't up) and periodically hit eagle eye to check on Anthriss. Within about half an hour, Anthriss spawned and with the help of a prismatic elixir and a core hound I tamed her with about 33% health to spare! ...and died immediately after o.O By now it was about 8am so I went to bed for 3.5 hours. When I woke up I found Ankha and Solix waiting for me and about an hour later Karkin spawned and I happily tamed him Exactly 6 hours after realms came up from the restart, I was ready and waiting for Skarr, who spawned right on time. I left another toon logged out in Twilight Highlands to look for Karoma on so that I did not have to travel on my hunter to look. She was up so I quickly swapped over, hauled my hunter out there and nabbed my favorite spirit beast. I went back to the molten front, took a nap and when I woke up Skitter was back, and I managed to kill him again thanks to a very cruelly timed lag spike >.< One by one the other spiders and spirit beasts came back up (unfortunately Ankha spawned again instead of Magria), but there was no Deth to be seen. Eventually I had to call it a night, but woke up early this morning to check before work. I logged into my favorite purple spider staring me in the face and tamed her easily (my 5th total solo tame of her, by now I have had much practice haha). Skitter was up again as well! This time I managed NOT to kill him :b
So now I just have Magria and Blue Madexx left on my must-have list. My last hunter had so much luck with Madexxes that I suspect I will have much more trouble this time haha. But at least I already have red, which I like ALMOST just as much as blue I do have at least two common pets in my stables that I have bonded with - Sharkface my westfall coyote tamed at level 10 and my as-of-yet unnamed but still much loved red beetle. I plan to hold onto these guys, as they have seen me through the majority of my leveling.
I like to get all of my obsessive pet taming out of the way as quickly as possible when I ding, because I find it extremely difficult to enjoy anything else in the game when I know that I might be missing spawns >.< "finishing" my stables is always such a welcome relief... I am planning to not camp Magria but hopefully I'll find her tonight. I will definitely not camp Madexx either, that's just asking for insanity to take over. When I start farming for my transmog set, hopefully my luck will continue
