Hunter Back Peddle
This must be something new with 5.1. Fighting mobs (eg grindbot, questing, GB2), hunter will CONTINUOUSLY stop dps, turn his back to mob(s), walk away X yards, then slowly turn around to dps. while walking back he'll try to spam various abilities that fail because "not facing target". if the mob is not on the pet, or if there are multiple mobs aggroed on hunter - he'll just keep turning and walking away over and over. and getting stuck, and falling off hills, etc.
I'll just give a straight-up suggestion: just get rid of back peddle. even if it's improved and works perfectly I can't think of ANY in-game situation where it's of ANY benefit to suddenly turn your back to mob (stopping all dps) and start walking away to gain distance. no matter how many mobs, or how low the HP, it just makes the situation worse. ALL hunter abilities work at 0 yards - so this does nothing for dps, and if it's for defensive reasons it like I said makes everything worse. hunters have good dodge, deterrence, disengage with trap talent, misdirect to pet etc, turning your back to mob just increases the chances of dying.
Right now, grinding mobs at lvl 90 is plain impossible with singular - it spends the entire fight vs any mob not aggroed to pet trying to walk away, doing no dps, and often enough dying. I've had to use CLU which really sucks because of its multiple issues outside of raid settings.
PLEASE consider just letting the hunter stand there and dps, even vs mobs beating on it. walking away solves NOTHING. if people insist on gaining distance there is already an option for disengage.
