I'm a Nighstalker Hunter main and I severely disagree. None of my grenades are 1-hit-kills, it takes 3 punches to kill anyone else (vs. their 1 or 2), it takes 2 golden gun shots to kill a Titan or Warlock who is supering (vs. hammer and swords 1-hit-kill supers), and my resiliency and recovery are both so low it's a joke. I don't think anything is OP about a hunter in PvP and I think it's a really poor assessment to say otherwise.
Edit: it takes 3 punches to kill anyone else (vs. their 1 or 2 **when the Titans or Warlocks are using certain exotics**)
Edit 2: After some points made by people in the comments I should clarify some things.
1) I do not play competitive, only Quickplay, Iron Banner, and Mayhem. I've played about 4 matches in Trials. Therefore, my opinion is based upon my experience outside of competitive.
2) I agree that the Arcstrider subclass is exceptionally good. I do not think that it itself makes the Hunter class overall OP though. Please remember, my opinion is limited to mostly Quickplay, but this is also where most people spend their time in the Crucible. Arcstider is not as much of a meta in pubbies as it is in Competitive, and therefore I personally do not consider "But Arcstiders kill things!" a winning argument in the overall context of this debate. A valid point, yes, but it's not good enough. As I said in my response to itsnreekay in the comments below, "One good subclass super does not an entire OP guardian class make." Also, you can thank itsnreekay for at least shifting me a little bit and forcing me to make these edits, but I'm still not convinced (his points had more to do with Competitive than pubbies)

All of my friends main hunters, and I main a Titan. Anything that comes out of their mouths will have something to do with hunters being underpowered, worthless, and needing serious buffs. They then blame the hammer titan
