the way i see it you have three options gearwise
go with falcon gear, max out agility and intellect, get http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=34484, and be a glass cannon with tons of damage. you will have like no health though.
or go with eagle gear, get stamina and intellect, getting http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=34484, keeping your mana high and attack power up at a decent level too. you won't have much crit though.
or go with monkey gear, get stamina and agility, going with any spec you want, and having good health and crit and attack power at a decent level. you won't have much mana to work with.
or, you can do a combination, get some monkey and some eagle gear. it's up to you.
here's a rough cookie cutter gearset (going left down then right down in gear slots)
9/9 eagle +100 hp
WSG neck
BoA shoulders? or watchman pauldrons or mantle of thieves
parachute cloak (engineering) +12 agil
raptor hunter tunic +6 stats
gallan's cuffs +24 AP
razzeric's racing grips +15 agil
AB belt
9/9 eagle with nethercleft
AB boots +7 stam
deadman's hand
WSG ring
eng trinkets/agm/pvp trinket etc

Lol nice one druiddoid.
As far as 19 I can't help ya since I play only 29/39 and sometimes 49.
But as far as the upper brackets are concerned, I would get a decent amount of health with a balance of damage and the other various things.
Then again Im a very balance kind of person...I like to keep all my stats in prospective.

As far think is hp/mana hunter the best way to go. Have a maxed one (no boa shoulders thu). For 19 hunter is dmg more about skill then gear and pre wotlk i wod outdps anyone if i so wanted with 15agi on glowes as my only dmg bost (monky aspeck all time). I left him and server behind thu to join a friend and a new bracket.
Armory have maintenance atm but iam Twinkyy on neptulon 3k hp with mining bugg (to mutch xp to get 450:/) ya i have the worst name you can pick dunu what i was thinking

I've played various specs with my 29 hunter, with different sets of gear. If you attempt to be a glass cannon, you'll rarely live long enough to blow through your mana... but going too low on mana also usually meant anyone with a mana drain could destroy alot of your more important contribution... but with most drains becoming % based, I believe your mana pool will become less vulnerable at lower sizes than it previously was.
This is most likely a non factor at 10-19, but at 20-29, Warlocks have Drain Mana. May need more time to sink in but I believe that pairs of Warlocks with CCer escort in custom games may become a pretty good source of control by shutting out healers.
As a hunter though, unless you are running as an SV Hunter, it shouldn't be too much a worry most of the time.
You'll be mostly on Arcane Shot, Multi-Shot and Auto Shot and not much else at 19, so a small mana pool shouldn't be too big a problem, I'd say go with Monkey Gear with a few peices of Falcon. Wasn't there a ring from DM with int and + hit that's been changed from int and agi? That should be a pretty good piece for the bracket.

A small mana pole for 19 hunter is in fact a whery big problem. In fact do i think that mana buff dmg more then agi or ap do. I have bouth balance and max dmg gear on my 19 hunter, but i never use it. Whenever i tok it on i awais just wanted to take it of and put on hp/mana gear on again. Is started off using balance gear but as sone i tested out go for hp/mana i was hoked and i wod never go back. Hp/mana is far superior then dps. Dps is a 1sec glassconon so balance or hp/mana is the way to go. So far iknow iam the only max hp/mana but i wod love seing some more go for it
My gear:
fishing hat +100 hp
WSG neck
Talbar mantle (Champion Herod's Shoulder is optimal)
sentry cloak +12 dodge
Blackened defias +4 stats and 100hp
5 sta +9 stam
4/4 eagle +15 agil
girdle of the blindwatcher
5/5 eagle with nethercleft
fishing boots +boar's speed
wrynn
bloodring
agm/pvp trinket
Night Watch Shortsword +22 int
Furbolg Medicine Pouch
My spec: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=cVcZb (buff Glyph of Aspect of the Monkey spec)

that isn't too bad. go for it and see how you do.
here is what i have for now.
good build, works like a charm !
Brandatwo - Rivendare
soon gonna switch to BM spec for better survivability.
BTW best thing to keep on is GLYPH OF THE MONKEY + ASPECT OF THE MONKEY... gives you onkey speed every now and then and helps you keep the distance a lot more. i just kite everybody off, except that rogue who once used sprint to follow me around !
i'm only missing the arena grand master and the fishing gear which i'll start working on soon. but it is tough without a friend backing you up !
