Best idea let the tank trap, it works wonders put the trap at his feet and
let him pull the mob to trap so anything that happens after it's ok. Trap
resist? Np they go for the tank. Trap broken early? Np they go for the tank.
Trap finished during fight? Np they go for the tank and the hunter can
continue DPS and the mobs dies faster :)

Because it's caster mobs that are the problem, 1 more or less melee mob
htting my druid is nothing compared to a caster burning through my 30k
armor.

Unless the hunter is only CC and a bad tank avoid it.

The entry way into ramparts up to the first boss is pretty well open
with little chances for LoS pulling. What few obstacles are there for
LoS tend to be too far away from the mobs to use. In mech there are a
few mob groups with no chance to LoS pull. Shadow Labs has that huge
open room in the beginning of the instance with almost no obstacles to
use, at least for the initial few pulls. I'm sure there is more, but
I really don't want to think about them right now.

There is also the issue of the tank using LoS to pull. I can think of
lots of places where the tank LoS pulls a group as to reduce the
chances of accidently pulling another group during a fight. In these
cases, it makes it harder for the hunter to trap the right mob, and if
its a caster he is trying to trap, without a secondary LoS location,
the hunter is screwed.
