In general, Marksmanship Hunters want to get trinkets that line up well with
Trueshot. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect.
The stats you want to be increasing are either Agility or Haste. The Agility
will provide a very large increase to your damage and Haste increases your
attack speed and reduces your the cast time of your spells, resulting in an
increase to your damage output. Here is the best gear we recommend you using

Sinful Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have
equipped at all times. This allows you to remove any crowd control on yourself.
You will normally use this when you are stuck in crowd control and
a teammate is at low health. Note, if you play a Human and are playing against a
team with only stuns,
Sinful Gladiator's Relentless Brooch is a better
option.
Sinful Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Haste and has a 1-minute
cooldown that increases your primary stat. This is great to use right before you
activate a powerful cooldown.
Sinful Gladiator's Emblem increases your maximum health when used. This
gives you an additional defensive when you think a team will be focusing you.
Sinful Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity increases your Haste and has a chance to
proc your primary stat. This is an overall strong trinket, as the stat will proc
often throughout an arena match.
