Hunter easiest class to play? Are you kidding me?

Ok I might get lol'd at, flamed, whatever but I stand convinced that is totally untrue.
I have a 80 shammy resto in T8.5, a Mage in T7.5, a Lock 80.
I've been playing for 3 years I just now decided to roll a hunter.
Maybe it's just because I'm new to the class but a hunter is not an easy class to play, whoever said that must not be seeing how a hunter needs to be played.
A hunter is constantly moving, at least in their level 40's before thunderstomp and before their pet can have sufficient aggro control on multiple mobs.
Running an instance the hunter must constantly be checking Omen, using feign death whenever their threat is getting too high. Running toward the mob, putting down a trap, disengage, If you forget to watch Omen, you pass the tank in threat, if you use feign death the mob goes for the healer, you use distracting shot he comes back to you, anyway, you get my drift lol.
On my mage, its basically, 3 buttons. And I top the charts, if I get aggro, ice block. Wow. Hard.
KWIM?
I mean what am I missing here? Was my tank just not doing his job? Does it get easier at 80?
There's so much you gotta look out for in an instance anyway as a hunter compared to any other class. Alot more mechanics involved.
p.d. Edited to add ; must make sure to have enough arrows, your pet on growl OFF, cower off............Pet on passive...
If anything Mage, Shammy are the easiest classes to play cuz they're "lol" compared to my hunter atm. WTH am I missing here? lol

hunters being 'easy' comes from the endless Steady Shot spam of TBC and early Lich King. You sir are correct... its most certainly not easy anymore. Those that figure out are amzing, those that dont feed the huntard nation.

Only class which is easy is a retri paladin before 3.2 or death knight. Before 3.2 you could do whole dps rotation with once castsequence button macro. These are easy classes yet people fail at them miserably still.
every class can be played with 1 cast sequence macro. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Reaper's technically right....
Hunter COULD be played by cast sequence, but it would make L&L procs pointless. There would also be huge problems if you started moving at all.
But you COULD

Most classes don't have to worry about keeping two things alive at once.
Raiding as a hunter is kind of like trying to play WoW while babysitting.
