The tree Beast Mastery is pretty self explanatory. You'll be relying on your faithful companion to provide a large portion of your damage and utility if you make a decision to go down this route. It is a great tactical advantage to have a strong additional damage source but you must be cautious because the loss of your pet can have devastating consequence with the difficulty of trying to get it back into the fight while under pressure.
BM Hunters are classified as the easiest of the three Hunter specs to play. This is because the talent tree does not provide many additional new abilities beyond Bestial Wrath and Intimidation. The complexity and depth of the class as a whole and the reliance on your pet give the spec more depth than at first glance. What makes the tree unique is that it does a good job of building upon itself without introducing new abilities. BM lacks the utility that the survival and marksman trees bring to the table, but makes up for that fact is the single most powerful PvP ability in the game. Bestial Wrath backed up with The Beast Within is more than a damage amplifier, providing CC immunity for a long period of time. This in itself makes it invaluable in fighting most classes that disable and lock you down. BM gives you the best tools to PvP kite like no other class or spec can.
As a BM Hunter, your race won't make or break the spec so use whatever you like. Orcs have a distinct advantage over the other races. Command gives your pet an additional 5% damage. That would be worth rolling an orc but you get Blood Fury and Hardiness. Both are great PvP abilities.
We recommend taking up engineering if you want to give your Hunter the edge in PvP. The nitro boosts boot enchant is an invaluable tool to use both offensively and defensively. The hand mounted pyro rocket is a nice perk too.
Because of the stat boosts, jewelcrafting, enchanting, leatherworking and inscription are good secondary professions to have. You will likely need an alt leveled up for a gathering profession unless you already have a lot of money.
It is obvious that you are going to want to grab PvP gear with resilience if you want to PvP. There are two things you can do if you are first starting out. You can buy leatherworking craftable Swiftarrow set or jump straight into battlegrounds and Wintergrasp to do the honor grind for some nicer gear. The chances are that you will be having a rough time in BGs until you get some decent gear. You can do your PvP dailies, collect BG marks and go to Wintergrasp if possible. You'll have a nice starter set soon enough. Besides armor, you'll want to get your PvP trinket sooner than later, removing CC effects which will comes in handy even as a BM Hunter. You can purchase one with honor or Wintergrasp marks with differing stats.
