So,
Im not the best hunter and not a theorycrafter but, after 5.1 my dps (BM) went down (specially in burst) and my question is:
Do hunters suffered dps loss after patch 5.1?
Note: I read the patch notes and maybe missed something (or not)

BM burst was toned down a little, however if you're talking about arenas, Stampede was fixed having been broken and doing 400% of its intended damage.
If you're talking about PvE, Lynx rush was changed and the damage, provided we're talking about an encounter that goes on for longer than a heroic boss, will even out but will not initially spike quite as high.

Maybe. Im losing some KC when I spam my buttons. Before I was like hit movement key to cancel and use KC or something like that. Now I need to macro my skills to cancel cast? Or something better to do?
Im PvE. Arena I dont care much. I changed Lynx rush to Blink Strike and think it`s better. Is it better for BM?
Yeah, this is something you're going to want another solution for, you're gonna have to either use the Escape key, or a macro bound elsewhere, I also used movement to cancel the occasional erroneous Cobra/Steady. Just requires a small lifestyle change, it will soon go from awkward to as natural as jerk movement was.
I broke a couple shields on Zian on H-Spirit Kings tonight because I'm used to just juking to interrupt a CoS if he's casting shield. Now I have to turn 360 degrees and walk away. :/
I'm like you, just a casual player and don't read up deep into the perfect shot priorities and all that.
We raided on patch day and I didn't change a thing on my gear, not even with upgrading any of it. Overall on most boss pulls my burst was usually a little less then it was previously but my overall dps for the entire fights was up by 10k+. It most of the DPS was up quite a bit but a lot of them did upgrade stuff so who knows. Bosses went down quicker then usual too.
I didn't have time to check into the adjustments that could be made and was still using LR and all. Of course that 10k gain came a lot from being able to move while casting CoS.
If you were using Lynx rush, it is possible that your damage went down, even with the +5% AP buff. (the bleed version is slightly weaker than befor, believe me or not)
if you where using BS/aMoC it shouldnt, becaus in that case the only thing that changed is the +AP.
but today at the latest, you should see your damage go up :-) Serpent Sting got buffed by 100%, that should be very noticeable, especially on multiple target fights, and even more so as SV
/stopcasting
/cast Kill Command/Glaive Toss/Kill Shot ?
