Imo, bliz is just in removing leg and libarms, because they req. level 50-60 to use. Enchants should stay the same because they require a item level, so 15 agility to gloves will still be there hopefully.
Actually, my 19 hunter in class cannon gear hits 40-50 more damage average then my survival gear does. Although I won't break 1k Hp in my DPS gear now.
I'm actually at level 18 exploring all of STV and other areas, it's quite a long process though =P.
Edit-Also, I've Decided on a heyena and a Spider, will see which I like the best.
So my hunter I have been leveling is about to hit 20, and I am wondering if anyone has a timeline of what quests to do when, etc. Also I need to get teh quest reward from gnomer in case they take out legs. Thanks for the help!
