So! Long-overdue, I present...
The Status Update!

Druid: Level 70, ~13000 health, 16,000 armor, tankilicious. Lots of group quests to do to fill out my tanking set, but I have a good head start on it.
Hunter: Level 70 (that's right, still.), spec adjusted, pvpin' her little heart out. Man, hunter pvp is fun... I have however developed the most amazingly beastly hatred for rogues.
No more entrapment, no more Readiness, no more master tactician (great talent but never there when you need it, like on short fights, which pvp is full of), 5/5 mortal shots and the triumphant return of Scatter Shot fills out my summary of changes.
I've trained and levelled a cat, just for a change. My boar will always be #1 in my heart, but hey, variety is good too.
Talon King Ikiss is a total pushover now that I'm used to it - my new Most Hated slot goes to... all of Shattered Halls! The first boss is simple. The second boss... not so simple but doesn't bug me at all since I can FD out of the random aggro shifts. Kargath is also a PITA, but nothing compared to the monotonous grind of the trash pulls. Pulls of 6 mobs always make me nervous, and these are no exception.
In the interim I've also tried out Beastmastery (again) and discovered (again) that I'm still not a huge fan. Immunity to all forms of crowd control is indescribably awesome, but having the only interrupt I'm capable of inflicting come from my pet with its huge miss rate just isn't my cup of tea, I s'pose.
I'm a Hunter at heart, and a Survival hunter at that. Darn skippy.

I hate, hate, hate Shattered Halls.
The Trail of Fire (or whatever that craziness was called) was enough to make me want to walk away from the computer. The only thing that kept me sane was the fact our group took the ass-whopping with a laugh.
I can't even imagine the horror that is Shattered Halls with a crappy pug.
with love and destruction,

I'm not sure what all specs you've tried, but did you ever consider 40 in BM and 21 in MM for scatter shot? This seems to maximize my pleasure, and once I get my lil' piggy to 70 I can't wait to see what the extra stun will be like. But then again, it's all dependant on play style and preference. =D
I have tried it, and it IS fun :D
But it's all about relative skill weight (to me) and I'm afraid The Beast Within trumps Scatter Shot every time, when it comes to a choice between those two.
Complete immunity to everything except death carries much more weight than a single ranged incapacitate, I think. Both skills will help you get to range, but TBW will also allow you to continue kiting un-snared, something Scatter can't do.
