Requires Average Item Level 226

KevinRose is my level 80 hunter; my brother was the main person to level this character thus I am not very versed when it comes to hunters.  So I figured I would learn to play the class as a Marksman, with no pet, and just run Cataclysm instances.  But there was a problem; even though I was wearing some pretty decent gear from WotLK, my gear score fell short of the requirement to run Cataclysm instances.  My gear score was 214 and I needed 226.  So I quickly hit the auction house and ran a few quests and bumped my gear score up to 226.  Below are my stats when I was still at a gear score of 214.
