Level 71-72
When it comes to learning new spells, Levels 71 and 72 can be summed up in two little words, Kill Shot. Then again, there's a catch, there is always a catch. Kill Shot isn't always available. It's a special attach that depends on the target's level of health. Even with this one little snag, Kill Shot is one really cool ability and should be at the top of your shot priority.
Just remember, Kill Shot will only work on enemies with their health at 20% or lower. However, as soon as that happens? You can shell out some massive damage (200% weapon damage plus [RAP * 0.40 + 410]) damage. In other words, if you have a level 72 hunter equipped with the Siege Captain's Gun with a 223 weapon damage and about 1,500 RAP, Kill Shot alone could score out around 1,456 points of damage. Excited now?
We also learn some skill-ups: Explosive Trap (Rank 5), Raptor Strike (Rank 10), Steady Shot (Rank 3), and Counterattack (Rank 5), Immolation Trap (Rank 7).

Dungeon Quest Chains to Consider
As you complete your final push to wrap up leveling, you need to keep in mind what you will need to be prepared to raid when you hit level 80.
For example, one thing that many hunters face is learning how to play in groups. Even though we've said before to treat your pet as the tank and make sure it has and maintains threat, many hunters seem to fail to ever learn this and end up embarrassing themselves during their first raid.
The best way to break many of these nasty habits you may have learned while leveling out side of Northrend, is to start running the 5-man instances in both normal and heroic modes as soon as possible.
This will give you a couple of things. One, it will help get you accustomed to running in larger parties than just you and your pet. Next, it will help you gear up for those infamous raids. So even if you end up having to pug or maybe using the soon to be released Looking For Group utility coming out in Patch 3.3, you'll find that it was time well spent.
