So it's obvious I play a hunter. My primary specialization is Beast Mastery. I keep my character properly gemmed and reforge every time I get a new gear piece. I don't transmog. My Build has been stable for a while:
I chose Thrill of the Hunt and Blink Strikes because they are passive and don't require additional button clicks. I feel my hunter has too many already. Spirit Bond as well as Animal Bond and Mending are there for soloing which I do a lot. And Glaive Toss coupled with Misdirection to pet makes wonders when I need to get adds off my back in a hurry.
For misdirect I use the following macro:
Overall I want to be able to solo high-level instances, such as Firelands, in my primary configuration even if I lose some DPS. Survivalability of the pet is the number one priority as I pet-tank pretty much everything, including Zandalari Warbringers. And most of the time I tank with a ferocious pet, only toughest mobs force me to pull out a turtle or a direhorn (for primals on the Isle of Giants). As for my own protection I simply try to avoid damage using Feigh Death, Deterrence, and Disengage.
I also have Marksmanship spec as a secondary and tried to maximize DPS on that spec. Never got close to what I am able to pull out as a BM in that spec though, I guess it just doesn't fit my playstyle, although self-healing shots are supposed to be useful I stay alive longer in BM spec. Plus in BM spec I am able to use my exotic pets, such as quilen with battle rez Eternal Guardian or a strider with water walking.

For misdirect I use the following macro:
#showtooltipwhich misdirects to the player in focus (I set focus on tanks in instances) or to pet if there's nothing in focus.
/cast [@focus,help][help][@pet,exists] Misdirection
