I dont think the hit cap has changed. We just got revamped talents, not new gear or new content. It'll be higher in cata, I'm sure.

Hit cap has been lowered from 263 to 246 for raid bosses.
Crit cap is still 104.8%. Don't worry, you will never reach that except with special raid buffs (like Fungal Creep from Loatheb).
Haste has two caps. The soft haste cap is when your steady shot cast time is 1 second. The hard haste cap is our passive focus regen, but I cannot find any number on this. Right now, the amount of haste needed to up our focus regen even one percent is huge, so many hunters are reforging haste to mastery.
Note that both of these haste caps are extremely high. A lot of hunters are looking to "cap" haste when steady shot is at 1.5 second cast time. This is 765 haste rating or 33.33% with no haste talents or buffs.
Mastery has no cap yet that we know of.

The amount of haste to get to 1 sec (new GCD) is pretty massive. That said, as BM haste is proving very beneficial, I wouldn't worry about capping atm, and your gear as is should be good enough even without dealiing with reforging and whatnot if ur unfamiliar.

Hi all,
we can use this formula for calculate the haste required to cap GCD 1 sec.
1,5 (GCD) / (1,152 (15,2% di Haste on Gear) * 1,03 (
Pathing) * 1,15 (
Improved Steady) * 1,1 (
Raid buff)) = 1 sec
We need only 15,2 haste on gear to have GCD 1 sec
Correct ???
