The point here would be to attack as many people as fast as possible with as much damage as you can possibly have.  If you can get another teammate to run something like Order of Pain or Winnowing you’ll be cranking out even more DPS but what’s here already is considerable.  Conjure and Barrage work beautifully together.  Favorable Winds shortens the flight path of an arrow by flattening it out and speeding it up so the quicker firing rate of the bow here has little drawback.  With that any large pack of enemies is just asking for it with rapidly alternating Barrage and Dual Shot salvos.  Even against a single target it’s gong to be effective and efficient damage.  And when disruption not damage is called for this Ranger can sprinkle in Debilitating and Distracting Shots.  Tiger’s Fury makes things even better by increasing the attack rate.  It, too, is capable of being recast quickly and even at this low level of Beastmastery it’s infinitely sustainable in terms of recycle time versus duration.  Thanks to the change to Expertise, it’s also affected by Expertise but casting it and the attack skills as rapidly as possible could cause a bit of an energy crunch.
