I was pulling 3.7k in a caster group on my DK in H-ToC and pulling 4.5k on my Mage that hit 80 less than a week ago in VoA25 today.

Really? Is your mage already like 4.5k gear score in less than a week? Highest DPS I've seen on my own Recount so far was by a Warlock using Incinerate, and he did 6k dps in VoA. That's followed by another 4.5k gear score Mage in OS 25, I think, doing like ~5.5k.
I've put a lot of work into my Hunters gear, compared to my other 80s, and I've enchanted and gemmed everything as good as I can get it. I've min/maxed everything using femaledwarf.com (a hunter max dps site). 4.5k was the best I've gotten, despite the femaledwarf site saying I should be pulling 6.3k completely raid buffed on a boss like Patchwerk (one of the only real bosses that you can rate actual constant dps on just becauses its a literal tank n spank dps race).
Actually, now that I think about it, I haven't even respec'd to drop my hit rating talent points yet. lol. I don't need them anymore, and there's a few talents that'll increase my maximum dps.
