Ferocity : "Ferocity pets are all about the damage. Their talents focus on increasing both their damage and yours, and they have some nice abilities aimed at keeping them alive as well. Ferocity pets are popular in groups and raids, but can also help polish off enemies extra fast in solo play and PvP."

For the hunter, your pet is your single most important choice in terms of game play. If you haven't been to Petopia I suggest you go there now. If you are new to playing a hunter I also suggest reading this guide : Choosing a Pet. As a Marksman Hunter we can rule out the exoctic pets for general purposes but remember this, no one choice is the right choice. Be happy with your pet and or pets. They are indispensable and will always be there for you no matter what.
All that being said.... my focus here will be pvp. As such we are told that cunning pets are the preferred pet class when fighting other players whether it be in Battle Grounds or Arenas. Once in an Arena Bracket the pets role becomes much more specialized. Your pet will equip you with much needed support depending on which classes your up against. Having an arsenal of pets at your disposal will indeed increase your chances of winning more and you should become used to changing your pets on the fly.
Cunning PvP Pet Choices

Special Ability = Snatch 1 min cool down and Disarms Target for 10 seconds.
Spiders
Special Ability = Web 40 second cool down and Roots Target for 5 seconds.

These two pets are interchangeable. Depending on how you want it to look. I fight in 2v2 with a mage and sometimes I'll use this to get a small damage increase during our fights.
