We want to add a comment on the mana efficiency of shots: the exact damage per unit of mana depends on the Hunters stats and the targets armor but without going into the maths Serpent sting is very mana efficient followed closely by Aimed shot. Multi shot is a fair bit less efficient and arcane shot is generally very inefficient. A true mana miser would probably avoid multi-shot but we find that my general mana regeneration strategy allows me enough leeway to use multi-shot for that bit of extra damage and faster killing. On very low level mobs which go down too quickly to allow time for mana regeneration you would do better to leave out multi-shot.
Armor resists complicate things a little bit. This is because aimed shot and multi-shot damage is mitigated by armor while arcane shot is not. It might be more efficient to use arcane shot than auto-shot on a very heavily armored mob. We can't recall coming across any examples of this.
Due to the fact that we've no experience of high end raiding, we have not the ability to vouch for the effectiveness of these tips in raids. In order to maximize mana regeneration, understanding how mana regeneration works and knowing the correct order of shots can only help us guess.
