Keybinds???? - UI, Addons and Macros - Hunter Forums

At the top of the page you'll see a header devoted entirely to Hunter Macros-maybe give it a read. Garwulf is all about optimization and he provides a detailed explanation as to what macro commands do. The sheer number of macros available for hunters may make your head explode so you decide which you need. Personally I can't be bothered to have 75 macros, that's a lot like a job *shrug*

Those with more experience will hopefully reply to you but here's some basic stuff I gleaned when I came to the same conclusion you have come to, mainly from here.

Keybinds are for the most part personal preference and depending for what-PvE or PvP. There isn't any set formula. Well I think someone sells an optimization keybind program for WoW but that I don't count as I ain't buying it. Right now alll my binds are PvP oriented but once you have the muscle memory down you can swap PvE abilities/Macros into the slots and you will need less in PvE so you'll be able to use the rare keyboard real estate more efficiently.

The only keys I use for movement are Q/E for strafing (everything else is mouse movement) and have built around that. I 'think' I have backpedal on X, dunno never use it. Others build around AD. I can effectively use F1-F4, 1-5, Q to T, A-G, Z-V for anything that matters. The less used abilities, long cooldowns and shots I have in modifiers or in the tough to get keys. Hunters, especially in PvP need a stupid amount of macros and keybinds or click macros, whatever. Keyboard real estate is in short supply.

Really it's whatever you are comfortable with. From my own experience try not to bind everything at once-oy much headaches. Then it's really a matter of practice, quite a bit actually. Hell I'm still learning and mucking about with it.
