Good to hear, didn't think that stuff would affect it but hey, the UI
is all a mess now so anything's possible. Not a fan of the changes
there, at least it's mostly fixable with addons but shouldn't need to
be.

I find talenting extra buttons can help with that, I don't know BM
well but played with it a bit on beta and took Murder of Crows, which
added a bit of interest, especially solo where it resets the cd pretty
much every time. 

My little gnome hunter is BM but as she's only lvl 22 at present she's
in 2-shot territory anyway (with NO heirlooms, must be one-shot if you
use those, given a crit Cobra Shot is a one-shot kill even for me...),
I'm hoping it slows down a bit with time as killing stuff so fast is
just boring to me, I prefer fights to have some actual content rather
than just hitting a random button and watching the mob fall over.

Yeah that's irritating, seems like there's no actual point to having
more than one pet with that, just use the same one for everything. Ok,
kinda a return to vanilla where I always stuck with the same pet (he
was my "Best Friend", of course I used him!), but I liked the idea of
different pets having different strengths and switching pet to change
the toolset, rather than just changing talents.
