Pre-raid list from the Icy Veins Cataclysm Classic Survival Hunter gear guide (pre-raid page): Firelands-era catch-up pre-bis (previous-tier vendor gear via Fissure Stone Fragments). Icy Veins maintains no Hour of Twilight (4.3) pre-bis for this spec; this is the most current pre-raid list the source offers Enchants and gems from the spec's Icy Veins enchants-consumables page.
