[question] hunter balance related

[alt bringer]

how nerfed would hunters have to be to allow for

2 active pets (requires beast mastery)
or
self and pet only healing (healing skills come from survival talents)

*not to be considered as a factor*
talents
PvP

*major consideration*
soloing
this is a role-play project, but still considering "official" balance issues

heres what i did so far

hunter cant use mail armor
melee is manual
one handed dagger,fist wpn,only
no dual wield
no traps
no melee skills

my other thought for pets is
2 pets at 50% (half damage, half hp)
or
1 pet, but make it smarter...
instead of it using whatever skill is next available,
it will do a threat check, and wait for growl,intimidate, ect. if its threat is too low
and not use cower/shell defense untill its in melee range of target

A hunter with two pets would be completely OP. First off, that would be a ridiculous amount of DPS output, especially if you were BM. No consider PvP, can you imagine the amount of CC they would offer? You could get duel spiders and chain web. Lastly, consider the difficulty of trying to use multiple pet abilities.
