New team combo question?

[verse]

So the season is ramping down, and everyone is either racing for their titles or rerolling teams, since our 5s team is set i am trying to play around with some new 2v2 and 3v3 team combos. Mainly involving a good hunter friend of mine.

so it has gone well in the last few days, we started at 1600 and got to 1900 doing BM hunter (w/ imp mana sting) cookie cutter 41/20/0 holy build. Yet we are consitantly losing points two 3 team combo's in general

Hunter/priest
shaman/hunter
priest/warrior.

Our strat is to simply out last any healer/<insert DPS here> combo by mana stinging with a scorpid pet. yet when we hit a team with a priest or hunter or both we are losing because my hunter is getting out drained.

due to posion cleansing totem shaman hunter is becoming an issue. so im trying to focus heal my hunter or his pet as well as smack totems and do the little CC (stun, judgment of justice depending on the team, or arcane torrent) i can. All that ends up happening is we delay him getting full drained about 1 - 2 minuets longer depending on the arena we are in and depending on how lucky my cleanses are.

on the hunter priest we are having preety much the same issue except this time its just straight mana burn from priest and hunter, then finally the other hunter kills my hunter then its over. priest/warrior along the same line except constant melee pressure on the hunter while the priest attempts to mana burn me or the hunter, if the hunter goes oom we are done it seems.

so my question is, what do you think we should do stratagey wise, in game stratagey as well as spec, alot of my research points towards MM over BM. Or is this a lost cause, as far as team make up.

constructive thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. thank you.

the hunter is matadorro
paladin is (obviously) verse.

You could try having your Hunter respec MM/survival and play a more kititng orented strategy. Take advantage of being one of the only 2's team without a preist that has both offensive and defensive dispells.

vs other hunters have your hunter use his pets growl on the enemy hunter pet so your pally can run and drink, You could also use freezing trap or frost trap/entrapment to slow it enough that your pally can drink.

Both these are going to be easier with points in survival.

I was thinking about him trying MM but as we get up into the 2k+ range most hunters are going to effectively redirect the pet right back on the caster. I think that the mana drain strat is preety standard for our combo. He kites preety well but since BoF got nerfed a couple patches ago its hard to keep hamstring and crip poision off.

is the spec he was thinking about, but i thought maybe put more points in imp arcane shot or imp wing clip over careful aim.
