Engi > Mining, but Engi~=Skinning. Imo, ofc. The Nades from engineering provide some much needed utility in the form of stuns and inturrupts. OFC if you're only going to do comp. arenas, go with skinning/herb.
agree with previous posters, skinning+herb is really nice (perhaps get skinning after you get hat allthough getting them together is a lot easier unless that bug has been fixed since I played). allso of course you need to work on boots + enchant and 2nd trinket ( pvp, agm, boa) but that won't be news I expect.
id suggest picking up [ITEM]http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2167[/ITEM] with 10 haste, [ITEM]http://www.wowhead.com/?item=15269[/ITEM] with a counterweight, 2 [ITEM]http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42991[/ITEM] and [ITEM]http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44093[/ITEM].
Haste sets work very well on hunters, moreso now that theres a really slow gun available (i chose gun over bow because of the slightly slower speed and slightly better ammo). Autoshot burst will definitly outpace what venomstrike can put out

>> You could also put on [ITEM]4373[/ITEM] if you wanted to get a bit more out of careful aim.
