Its also not a instance people thats often run on heroic. In my case I went for the S3 hunter weapon. 4 weeks of fairly mediocre arena.

However, for the <i>casual</i> player who doesn't PUG much at all and whose guild is quite small, those options aren't necessarily available. SSO, on the other hand, requires nothing but a little time. Interestingly, now that I have the SSO items, I've moved to a (slightly) more active guild, and the opportunities I didn't have before, are now present. <b> @ Aerislan:</b> While most of the evidence is anecdotal, it certainly seems Legacy drops more often to Hunters than Sonic Spear. @Trackhoof & Loronar: For players who (a) enjoy PUGs a lot; or (b) are in a guild large enough to do several runs through each Outland 5-man to gear their players, your suggestions are quite valid.

The only time I ever saw the spear drop was when my wife ran slabs and there were no hunters present.

That was my case. It took me a month to hit exalted SSO, but that's when the server was still progressing. It will probably take less time now since all the quests are available. During that time, you should be able to squeeze in multiple runs of SLabs.

If you don't mind a drop in Agility, and want some more AP, by all means, get the Blackened Spear from Thrallmar, or the Hellforged Halberd from Honor Hold.. Revered rep, awesome stuff. Also, Having Revered puts you within stabbing distance (no pun intended) of getting the Marksman's Bow / Veteran's Musket, which are some of the best pre-Kara hunter weapons you'll be able to find.
