I think it's okay. It's not incredibly bad and it's not incredibly great. It's just okay.
The perk block we have access to seems pretty nice in PvE and could be amazing if we ever have a arc-burn and brawler equivalent modifier in D2. It doesn't seem all that good for PvP though (From my experience so far, that is.)
The super is rather nice as long as you don't spam the attack button and instead use the dodge ability. I personally think the super could use a bit more in-air target lock-on. I have killed multiple Arcstriders by simply jumping back and shooting at them.
I'll try the subclass a bit more but these are my impressions so far. How is your experience with the Arcstrider so far?

Sucks

I actually really like it and it will be my main. I have no idea what everyone is complaining about. The dodge ability is great. Cooldowns are fine. The super is awesome.

Loving it. Using the beta to get more efficient at arcstrider. First pvp match I tried playing it as a bladedancer lol. But now that I actually put the time to learn it I'm actually hooked.

It's amazing.

Dodge, Melee, Dodge, Melee, Dodge, Melee, Dodge, Melee, Die.

I love it. I think it might be my favorite subclass so far. The super feels great, and the melee/dodge recharge combos are really useful.

Love it. I have pulled off some crazy dodge-melee chains and you really feel like a bad ass. Like watching a pro genji player in ow.

Seems like a lot of Hunters are struggling to understand how to use the class. Here is a video that explains how to chain combos and maximize mobility.

We need blink back to start - anything less than that and the class isn't worth playing

It's honestly pretty good. I don't think a lot of people understand how it works. Dodge is your best mobility, plus after every dodge the next attack deals bonus damage. You can ground smash from in the air, and I've seen the spin attack but not sure how to do it yet (with an 8 day charge time not many opportunities to play with it). I thought it was awesome in PVP, dodging forward closed gaps quickly and attacking after dodge 1-hit killed. In PVE it works great for clearing grouped adds as well as giving some evasion. Not good against elites but oh well...can't have everything.
