Hunter Replacement for Avoidance

So, currently on the PTR they are removing the avoidance talent (Reduces damage done by AoE by 75%), and giving our pets an innate 90% AoE reduction. In the place of Avoidance, we are getting a new pet talent called Culling the Herd. It reads as follows:
Culling the Herd: This pet talent has replaced the Avoidance talent in the pet trees (Hunter pets now gain that benefit automatically without expenditure of talent points). Culling the Herd increases pet and hunter damage by 1/2/3% for 10 seconds each time the pet deals a critical strike with Claw, Bite, or Smack.
3% for 10 seconds each time a pet crits with Claw or Bite is really good, so I did some spreadsheet work. In my current gear, if this change were to go live, that is a 249.2 dps increase.
Personal gains may vary. Here are the dps gains per KB hunter, just for fun:
Grasen: 230.39 dps gain
Luminaire: 255.5 dps gain
Just as a fun note, If I were

You silly hunters.
