Q: Lone Wolf in Marksmanship or Survival?

Beta dumps show it. Dump placement disagrees on the tree. Treat placement as provisional.

No. The published matrix has no Undead Hunter. Undead can be Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Warlock or Warrior.

Q: Human Hunter racials in BGs?

Will to Survive and Perception. Human Hunter is 1 of 6 new combos. Starts in Alliance human lands.

Q: Engineering on Hunter honor?

Engineering + Enchanting is the Ultimate PvP pair on the live offer.

Q: Do I bring a pet to battlegrounds?

Yes on Beast Mastery. Maybe not on Survival Lone Wolf (beta). Marksmanship often keeps a pet for peeling.
