Hunter talent changes from Classic to Forever

Classic Era gave the Hunter 46 talents. Forever keeps 37 of them — 11 word for word, 22 with a rewritten tooltip and 4 with the same sentence and different numbers — and renames 4, changes the rank count of 3, adds 14 new talents and leaves 9 out of the trees (2 of those are taught by trainers instead). Survival moved most: 6 new, 10 changed, 4 gone and 2 left exactly as in Classic. Each line below was read from the two clients and compared rank for rank; nothing is taken from patch notes.
