There is a current bug with the hunter talent- [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
You have a 100% chance when you trap a target and a 10% chance when you deal periodic damage with your Serpent Sting to cause your next 2 Arcane Shot or Explosive Shot spells to trigger no cooldown, cost no mana and consume no ammo. 30 second cooldown.
With the 10% proc, the sting should theoretically (assuming no rng) proc every 30 seconds: pushing hunters away from the trap dancing method of DPS.
Trap Dancing-Laying a trap at a boss's feet to get a 100% proc for LnL then running back out to continue DPS.
This 30 second cooldown means traps like [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] would normally not trigger Lock and Load because of the small hidden cool-down if used right after a Lock and Load Proc from a sting.
I have not tested if option (2) is better or not, because you are missing out on the damage from Imo. Trap: but who knows...Test for yourself :)
The Exploit to increase your dps
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] is not being effected by the 30 second cooldown on LnL. So you can get a LnL proc using a sting, then run up and use the trap right after, avoiding that nasty cooldown. The same should apply using Frost Trap to trap dance, while still getting procs from Serpent Sting(2).
ps: wie immer :D
