Well there are two main problems you will have to deal with, at 2.0

- Scatter shot + silence :
The pet is very weak, it's mainly there to interrupt your casts. Slap a CoW on it, corruption if you nightfall, and siphon life if you have it. Running at the hunter while putting an amp'd CoEx on him is good, but you'll have to go through scatter shot and the silence period. If he's smart he'll be timing those so you really have a hard time reaching him. This can be a real problem with well geared hunters, because you really have very little time to reach them.

The succubus is a big advantage against this one, simply because they don't have any counter to it. If affli spec'd, aoe fear as soon as you can reach him. That will also fear the pet and give you a clean shot and the opportunity to stick on him

- Red pet fury
Didn't have too many encounters with those. If the hunter isn't 41-specced (ie: he doesn't turn red too) find a way to CC him so you can tank the pet without getting nailed. That includes death coil and of course seduce if available. Once the pet is back to normal you can proceed to wtfpwn the hunter.

If he turns red as well, I don't think there are many ways to force him to stay close orr CC him. you just have to survive 15 seconds with the frenzied pet & hunter bashing you. The only good thing is that he doesn't scatter shot, so when he's not red you can run to it much more easily.

PS: I don't think hunters can activate their beast rage when under CC, so might be a good idea to fear them as soon as possible (and put curses on the pet later)
