I would Adore if blizzard went this way. Okay, no more pet, and no more utility. You don’t get BL without b ringing drums or switching BM/SUV, oh man the tears would be glorious.
Pet access has been returned (blue post in main thread):

well i guess it’s only fair now to give bm/sv their own external source of bloodlust rather than from their pet ;^)
A lot of ust pro pet people have been saying this just take utilities off all pets and give them to all hunter specs and that way BM and Surv can choose whatever pet they want for group content .
To be honest if that were to happen people would pick pets that most fit their race instead of the one that has to fit what they are doing .
IMO they should make Harrier’s Cry as baseline for Hunters, and Primal Rage a Leech amp for Ferocity pets.
At this point just streamline Hunter utility to be all on the hunter. Sure keep some of the little utilities like slows on pets, but to prevent any future issues and for overall class parity, just put any major things like lust directly onto the hunter. Pet choice should largely be cosmetic in my opinion or at the very least, much less restrictive.
