This is definitely not true for AQ40 due to the extremely wierd itemization -- no doubt there are some upgrades, but by in large most of it are extremely off-spec and/or wierd items (feral druid loot, oracle set, striker's, etc).

I don't think anyone will argue that you should clear AQ40 a couple times so that you learn strategically what there is to learn, but without clear gear progression (and honestly by in large in AQ40 there is not), there doesn't seem to be much if any reason to actually go there. Why farm a place when you're going to disenchant 80% of the drops?
Strikers isn't just wierd, it's totally retarded. A total of 16 agi upgrade over gs and a grand total of 42 healing/dmg, probably the most retarded bonus to give a hunter since the ZG set, which at least added flat dmg to arcane shot, not normalized because it's an instant. Whoever designed this set should be forced to go back to customer service for a few more years until they learn how the game works.
