As a Paladin, I think Hunts were the great equaliser between classes. With Poetics I can be lazy and still cap them on Tuesday, DPS with long queue times don't get the insta queue that I get, so for Tank/Healer we can acquire Sold/Poet at a far quicker rate than DPS classes can using DF. With Hunts, DPS don't have to wait 30-40m for a queue to pop, they are not limited to 50/40/hour (compared to Tank/Healer 150/120), that's why I think Hunts should be a valid alternative for DPS to gain tomes at a reasonable rate.
