[RG2] - Ishilien lvl 100 Huntard

Who is your character?
[Your character name, class, specs, and Armory link. Try to log out in main-spec gear]
My character is Ishilien Moonarrow (<-- armory link), or Ishi for short, a former Sentinel of Ashenvale and currently Adventurer extraordinaire!! She has honed her skills in Marksmanship, Survival and Beast Mastery and longs for more adventures in this new, savage world called Draenor.
Currently I'm mane spec MM and secondary BM. I used to be SV/BM in MoP but they buffed MM and I always wanted to check it out so now was the best time
Here's her story: (with spoiler because long post)
Who am I? I am Thijs Cramer, currently 22 years young, nice to make your acquaintance *tips the edge of the stetson*. I live in a small town called Epe in the Netherlands. I come from quite a big family, we were with 7 when I still lived at my parents. I got two little brothers, age 20 and 15, (although they are both taller than me, damn you genes...) and two little sisters, age 12(not taller than me, yay!). I currently work at a law firm here in Epe as a management assistant. I'll have a busy time ahead of me because I am planning to move from the Netherlands to the UK to move in with my girlfriend. I've always been a cat person so if I ever get a pet it'll either be a Poni (see below) or a kitty :3.
Hmm what else is there to tell about me. Well I used to have hair similar to Carles Puyol, a former defender of Barcelona so I still carry the nickname Puyol around. I play field-hockey in my free time with my friends. We are absolutely amazing at winning the third half but also know how to play a good game of hockey. When I'm not working or on the hockey field I usually play some WoW, skype with friends or go out with them, or a combination of that. Maybe some of you already knew but I am a Brony (linked it for those who don't know what it is). I got some plushies and a few T-shirts, but I do not own any extreme things. ;D
Experience
My previous raiding experience is not that ample. I have cleared all MoP raids on normal/heroic. I cleared SoO 13/14 HC pre mythic. I cleared ToT and SoO when they were current content and we went back to 5.0 raids for the achievements when ToT hit. I played BM and SV on my hunter and I lead the social raids of my old guild on my shaman, on which I healed and DPS'ed.
Raid role
Uhm, my current role in a raid team would be that I am there to do my part. If the RL needs me to CC this add, I will CC this add. I'll do whatever I have to do to get the most DPS out of my class without dying.
Talent choices
Thok HC - pre Mythic
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Chimaera: lower CD on disengage to use it multiple times during chase or to get into position for being chased. So for our raid it was the best choice.
Binding Shot: We used my binding shot to stun the bats when they came down to stay alive longer.
Iron Hawk: Best choice of the three, with constant stress on the healers a 10% flat dmg reduction is good for them, they can focus on the rest more than on me.
Thrill of the Hunt: I liked having low cost Multishots when the bats came down, so I could max my AoE dmg.
Barrage: We needed as much AoE as possible on our team because the bats were our bottleneck, so I went with Barrage because of the three talents, it does the most AoE damage.
Siegecrafter HC - pre Mythic and nerf:
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Chimaera: I run with this talent base line because this talents allows more disengages and Deterrences, which translates is more ways to avoid things and damage.
Binding Shot: useless tier for a hunter on Siegecrafter. I was on belt duty so I didn't leave the belt. I had this because I have it base line.
Spirit Bond: Because I don't have a healer with me and don't take damage on the belt, I took this talent to heal back up on the belt, ready for damage as soon as I got down.
Thrill of the Hunt: still the best talent for burst dmg, especially if combined with Bestial Wrath for free Arcane Shots.
A Murder of Crows: I use this talent because it gives the biggest burst of the three. Which is needed on the belt.
Paragons HC - pre Mythic:
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Chimaera: Same as Siegecrafter
Binding Shot: Used to stun the blob adds before they get to the Paragon.
Iron Hawk: My go to talent when it came to most fights. This too here.
Thrill of the Hunt: still the best talent for burst dmg, especially if combined with Bestial Wrath for free Arcane Shots.
A Murder of Crows: I use this talent because it gives the biggest burst of the three. Which is needed for bursting the Paragons down one at the time. It has a high uptime too, which is nice.
Hellscream HC - pre Mythic:
Posthaste: For the first transition, to get to the adds in the back quicker
Binding Shot: Used to stun the adds at the temple of the Jade Serpent
Iron Hawk: overall best choice given the high amount of raid wide dmg.
Thrill of the Hunt: still the best talent for burst dmg, especially if combined with Bestial Wrath for free Arcane Shots.
A Murder of Crows: I use this talent because it gives the biggest overall dmg of the three choices.
Off-specs and Alternative characters
[How comfortable are you switching to your off-spec for a fight/raid if needed?
Do you have any alts that would also be a viable option for raiding with us? (for the case that we love you but can't fit your main in our rosters) Please add Armory links for other characters if so, and tell us to what degree they are/have been played.]
I will switch to whatever spec is best for the encounter. I do intend to level up some of my alts to get them ready for raiding too. I have had 3 SoO normal/heroic characters all between ilvl 540-580
Applejack and Cenya
Communication
I have a headset with a working mic. I will use the forums regularly since we also did that on my old guild. So should be ok
Combat Logs
I had some logs on ToT and SoO, but those were back on World of Logs and are long gone since they were from beginning 2014 or earlier. So unfortunately I got nothing here. I can post screenshots of my dmg done if you want?

Guild History
I've been mostly in the Circle of Justice, from 2012 to 2014. I was removed because of IRL reasons. I would rather not go and deeper on a public board, but it had nothing to do with ingame performance or things.
Raid availability
[Can you generally make all of our raiding days/times, or are there any difficulties with this? Our current raid schedule is found here.]
I was told your raid days are Wednesday and Fridays. I can make those days so that's no problem at all. I'm moving to England soon and I will see how it looks then, but that's in 5 weeks or so.
References
I've been around for quite a while and I saw you guys running around in Cata and Mists through leveling. I am trying to find Ishi a good home and I hope that The Raven Council can be that home.
About you
Uhm, see the Who are you part
GnomesPonies!
Ponies all the way! I could literally fill this entire thread with MLP. Gnomes are Draenei food. (no offense)
I hope you enjoyed the read and I hope to be speaking to everyone in-game soon (if the queues will allow it ofc)
