I'll be honest... I didn't look at your Hunter; however, I recommend getting all of the Factions to Rank 3 or higher so that your options are open. The [i]cool shaders[/i] don't drop as often as you would like them to... If it's your first Faction... try to pick one that has either a weapon or stat buffs that apply to your playing style: FWC for Intellect/Discipline, NM for Intellect/Strength, and DO for Strength/Discipline. The best RnG weapons [i]probably[/i] come from NM... but the off the shelf Deviant Gravity from DO is pretty nice for both PvE and PvP. For regular PvE content your armor perks aren't really as important as they are in PvP or Raids. I, personally, prefer a high Intellect build on either Bladedancer or Gunslinger... but that's just me ;)
