Looks like BM hunters are getting BL as well as some other raid wide buffs from other exotic pets. Ancient Hysteria plus other exotic specials.

EDIT: spelling

That's pretty damn sweet. Even better considering that you'll have pets for other buffs/debuffs as well.

It might not be all that significant for 25 player raids where you usually have all those buffs from players anyway, but for 10-man raids this totally rocks!

Now let's just hope that this added utility doesn't end up being too pricey. You're not really winning anything if you're boosting raid dps by an amount equal or smaller than the personal dps loss compared to using a different pet or even spec.

This is the full list posted at MMO. I can definitely see how some of the non-exotic pets would be worth having in the stables, just in case.

[EDIT]

Example? If you have a Rogue in your raid, but no Arms Warrior or Feral Druid. Hell, even if you have a Kitty around, it might still be worth taking a Hyena (assuming it is a ferocity pet), since Mangle is a dps loss for the Druid if they don't need to put up the buff.

s already looking to me that BM was going to be the way to go come Cata, but now with this I don't think it leave much doubt. With the stable size we are going to have and all these new abilities for pets Hunters are going to be huge for raid utility.

We appear to be missing a few creatures from this list. I cant wait to see what Nether Rays get, as they are some of the cooler looking creatures. And you can get a Nether Ray companion, Pet and Mount to make a matching set. It's a shame Wasps have been given a useless ability for raids, I liked my wasp, going to have to replace him now.
