Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Never played a Hunter until cata on retail; looking for general leveling tips.

1. Spec? I see people say BM is best for leveling, any specific spec I should use?

2. Also read that cats/raptors are best for leveling, being that they're the best DPS pets. Will any cat do, or are there any specific ones in low level areas I should go for?

3. Any general tips/tricks for leveling? I'm not COMPLETELY new to Hunter, I just never played one in vanilla. I did download that "rais_autoshot" addon, though I'm not sure what's so good about it, besides having a timer for your autoshot.

Hello? Anyone?

1. Go 31BM while leveling, you wont pull aggro from pet as easy and he wont die. Put rest of your talents into MM, you'll get Aimed shot at 50+

2.Cats are great. Good speed and dmg and can learn both bite/claw Less armor than a bear/turtle/boar but w/e, as BM your pet wont die anyway. (as BM your pet will solo most clothies 1v1 while lvling)

3. Rais simply tells you when you're recharging and firing your autoshots. White = recharging. you can move freely / cast spells without delaying your autoshots. Red = Firing your autoshot, any spell cast / moving when it's red will delay your autoshot.

Alrighty, so I'm assuming my spec would go something like:
