Hello all, I've been a long time lurker but I hardly ever post... Sorry if my English isn't top notch as it is not my native language. I just wanted to share an event that happened to me today and ask some questions based on it.

So, I've been grinding in Felwood(satyrs) lately as I can grind them very efficiently, it's good money, and possibly farming for RotV materials. Today, the camp was just myself (level 54) and an alliance hunter(lv60) who was kind enough to share the camp with me so we both equally killed as much as we could and got the repops right after. For better understanding of what's to follow, I'm affliction-specced.

A few hours into the grinding session, and a few minutes before I hit level 55, the hunter just randomly sends his pet at my Succubus from a distance. This caught me a bit off guard, and it gave the hunter time to kill my Succubus and point the arrow of doom at me. As he was very far he send his pet at me (arrogant move, maybe?) which I feared as it ran towards me. I then ran towards him(dead zone, took some hits before that), Death coiled, applied dots, feared, and used drain-life while his pet attacked me. To my surprise, he died well before I did!

I'm not a bad sport so I just said leave it, I let him ress properly and went on with my grinding. And he came back! This time I was a bit more prepared. I seduced him, feared pet, shadow bolted and applied DOTs right after, then used iHoT. He was toast. I then levelled to 55 while occasionally killing a very frustrated alliance hunter.

Now... that shouldn't be happening. I have relatively good gear but... that's nuts. For future reference, what did the hunter do wrong? I'm curious to know why I had the upper hand even though I got jumped both times... Is it a skill issue, spec issue?

Also, what are your thoughts on actually spending time to get the RotV now, with all the new gear coming out in the expansion? Thanks in advance, I apologize for the long post.
