Looking at
http://www.warcrafthuntersunion.com/2009/01/hunter-crit-cap-guide/
I was wondering if you get enough crit, you can get more dps than getting 100% Arp?

To achieve 1% of armor pen you need 13.99 rating. 1399 for 100%.
To achieve 1% of crit you need 45.91 rating or 83.3 agility. Crit cap is at 104.8%.
Please do the rest of the math yourself.
He's using WHU as a information source, you think he can do that?

Math? Dunno. Nothing wrong with WHU.
You know, aside from him telling people to use Glyph of the Hawk over Glyph of Kill Shot, to spec into Hawk Eye, claiming that it's Armor Penetration that causes you to stop using Arcane Shot (it's not)...
Sure, there's nothing wrong with WHU, about as much as there's nothing wrong with the National Inquirer.

Rilgon has a bit of an issue with Frostheim, if you hadn't noticed.
Frostheim FTW, he is very wise and a very cool guy.
This is why he won't even reveal his supposed "scientific approach" when called out on his math or logic being wrong, right?
Wisdom is having the ability to back up what you say. I've been playing just as long as he has, seen more content than he has, and will never hesitate to admit that I'm wrong or present my evidence when called out on an issue.
Until he rectifies the third point, he will continue to be a poison to the Hunter community, by misleading people and caring more about his self-image and his position on Google search results (which he went as far as PAYING for SEO through Google to optimize) than actually helping Hunters.

I'm saorry, but paying for SEO is a standard practice for damn near any website. Calling out someone for that is about as asinine as calling out Mario for saving the Princess. It happens.

Well, that and paying Google for "featured search results", an action performed most commonly by malware sites trying to masquerade as Wowhead, Curse, and the like.
And no, not really, I don't do SEO. Think it's BS, trying to game the search engines' algorithms like that. *shrug* Let them find the site on its merits and its contents or not at all.

A combination of average ranged weapon damage (Steady scales with your weapon's power, whereas Arcane doesn't), critical strike chance (as a critical Steady is much more damaging than a criitical Arcane due to Piercing Shots),
AND
Armor Penetration (since Steady is mitigated by Armor, but Arcane is not - it's instead mitigated by unavoidable partial resists due to level).
I dropped Arcane and saw a DPS gain back in Ulduar with Siren's Cry and something like 200-ish ArPen (because ArPen wasn't as good back then).

Except it's hilariously flawed, and negates the gain of having a 9s cooldown on Glyph of Kill Shot for must-die-now sorts of adds, like Raging Spirits on Lich King, Volatile Oozes/Gas Clouds on Putricide, adds on Lady Deathwhisper Heroic, and other similar encounters.
And quite frankly, given that the extent of his
practical
raid experience is four bosses in ICC25 and a handful of !@#$-easy 10-man hardmodes, he really has no room to speak to the practicality of the glyph in actual work. As someone who's banging down the Heroic Lich King's door, you couldn't PAY me enough to drop my Glyph of Kill Shot.
Though I will say that I'm getting mighty tempted to drop my points in Survival Instincts and a point from RRecup for 3/3 Eagle Eye for Heroic LK. :P
