1.) Pets aren't ignoring resilience, only the moves blinkstrike and lynx rush are. And on top of that it only affects the pet the hunter has out as his main pet, stampede pets don't use BS or LR.
2.) Bestial Wrath (afaik that enrage thing) doesn't make his pets un-CCable, it make his ONE pet un-CCable. Tip: BM hunters pets are accounting for roughly 62% of the hunter's damage during bursts. SO CC THE HUNTER. Boom, 35%+ dmg reduc right there.
~Also, as an aside, KC is a huge part of the pets damage, and if the hunter is cced then he cannot cast kill command.
3.) Stampede is not reset with readiness.
4.) If the hunter is out of LoS of the target OR his pet, then he cannot cast Kill Command. Go into live, and check it out yourself. Make a level 1 hunter and see.
That being said, I would also agree that hunters need their damage tweaked abit. Putting LR and BS on the resilience chart would be a great start.
However, don't forget that serious, competitive arena isn't stand at range and pew pew while standing still. Kite, LoS, drop target, drop combat, fake cast, bait cds, etc. Bm hunters can be beaten atm, they are not as horrifically broken as people make them out to be.
Also, every xpac has its few classes that will be ahead of others. Absolute balance in this game is unachievable in all aspects, but the effects are greater in PVP.
