Aimed Shot change suggestion

Well this has been brought up a hundred billion times, however, I have not seen this idea for a better, more desirable Aimed Shot.

Just like the talent Subtelty rogues have, Find Weakness, a 2 point talent that gives their ambush, garrote and cheapshot a 100% chance to reveal a flaw in their opponents armor, making their damage bypass 50% of their armor, I thought it would be a pretty good idea for a talent for Marksman hunters. It would proc off our Aimed shot (obviously), and it would be a ladder talent from Master Marksman (Free Aimed shot talent).

A 50% armor pen talent would be exactly what Marksman hunters need. Seeing how right now on beta, that using Cobra Shot in Marksman yields more dps , which means you would be ignoring the Master Markmans talent all together. Giving this talent to marksman would increase our physical damage without actually buffing our shots. It would mean that Aimed shot would be an ideal opener in PvP (can you cast Aimed Shot while still in Camoflage?), give more use to our mastery talent without buffing its damage and make it so buffing Chimera Shot wouldnt be the only solution to increasing our damage output.

As far as the talent would go, it obviously shouldn't have a 100% uptime, but more like a 50% uptime (if the talent were to be copied right out of the Subtelty, 50% armor bypass for 10 seconds). Thats all the input I pretty much have regarding the talent all together, so any further input would be nice.
I would prefer a buff to the damage of aimed shot to be 2 or 3 (preferably 3) times what it is now.

The original aimed shot (casted) used to be great. If you had someone under 50% hp stuck in an ice trap they would die for sure.
Well I not going to disagree with you on the fact that it needs to be buffed, but if it were to be buffed to that extent, hunters would replace rogues as the hardest hitting thing that you didnt see coming. Plus I am pretty sure blizzard wants us to press more than a couple buttons to win any fight (I have about 4 bars full of macros and keybinds, almost twice as much as any other character).
I agree I think aimed shot should be more like the original...perhaps less of a casting time.

I'm not saying it needs to be as powerful as it was in Vanilla, but as it is right now you will never use Aimed in PvP. In PvE it will ONLY be used when you get the 5 stack of MMM (i.e. raiding). I wouldn't even use it as an opener while levelling because it's damage output isn't much greater than Arcane Shot but you lose up to 3 seconds of time casting it.

Its a "signature shot" of the spec, but is hardly ever used.

It needs something to make it worth using. We are hunters and aimed shot should be one of the most hard hitting shots we have.
