In PVE, good hunters can out dps great dpsers of most other classes, right now. I'm sure what happened in BC will happen again. The more gear dependent classes like rogues and warriors will start to become real strong in the higher tiers of the end game. Terrible hunters can still keep up with good players of other classes. Being a great hunter is very complex, that's true, but terrible hunters still hold there own by doing next to nothing. Believe me, we have both awesome hunters and terrible hunters in our guild.

Your post, and blizzard's actions in 3.08, speak only to the fact that you're looking at the game from a very short term perspective. Hunters and druids are the classes which scale best with levels, as opposed to gear, because weapon damage doesn't do as much for us (particularly BM). Both classes will fall behind the classes who benefit more from having big crazy weapons in Ulduar and on. It's just a mechanic of the game, and it's the same mechanic that has been true of hunters and druids v. rogues and warriors since the game began. Handing out a bunch of nerfs on
this content because of that discrepancy is silly.
And, if you've been paying any attention, hunters in 25 man guilds who are clearing the expansion are no longer the dominant crazy force they're made out to be. We have very good hunters in my guild, and they're already falling behind classes which scale better with gear.
Hopefully this will all be a moot point when 3.1 rolls around, though, since it sounds like they're going to rebalance us again anyway.
