owen, I think the ideas you submitted are pretty good and definitely well presented. Here's my opinion though...
My number 1 issue is Tracking It's underutilized due to it's unrealized potential.
Leave trapping until profession revamp
There's a lot of really fun and exciting stuff that can be done here and I think it would be best served by the revamp where more time and effort can be dedicated to it
Quick but BIG fix to Tracking
I just posted this elsewhere on another thread, but here it is again. Make tracking "pop" all the spawns within the 500m tracking radius. This would be a small amount of effort for the devs but would make the skill WAY more useful. I think it would be quick to implement and therefore more likely to happen. Also, there may be concern that this is over the top or has unforseen issues that we are not aware of. Doing this now would mean that we can test this thoroughly for impact on the game before the revamp. Therefore, if it's too powerful or something, the revamp could tweak the skill to balance it out.

As I a bug I would add the holes in /areatrack and the problems that some people have noticed with animals not appearing on areatrack at all until they actually appear in radar range.
This seems like something that would fall under the bug category and not the feature categorty (ie: "wait for the revamp" response).

The noisemaker. Something happened to it in JTL - maybe the bitmap got resized wrong? Continuing to /bug it in game.

Right now for me I practice single pulls whether I am grouped or not. Traps are just plain not useful. I like the ideal of rooting a MOB in place until attacked.
I do not use traps right now. Hunting in a small group its far more important that I contribute my rifle fire towards killing the target.
Issues for me greater single harvest or let me get all three at master, maybe not be affected by the grouping penalty.
Tracking Iuse all the time for myself and the guild on hunts. The 100 meter hole drives me crazy. When I can't see a target and my guildmate hollers over here. That drives me crazy.
Camouflage would love it if it worked better. Only time I use it, is when I camie someone upwho doesn't have mask scent otherwise maskscent all the way.

One thing that I would like to see added to area tracking is the lair type, even if it's a "cluster or brambles" or "rocky shelter". Being a Ranger, we can generally tell what spawns from what type of lair, so why not give us a heads up as to what we're seeing out there?Besides, it'sfrustrating when you spot a group of carrion spat400m away...walk over to them and find out it's a mission lair.
I also agree with Rolfie. It's both frustrating and embarassing to check my area tracking and say in group chat "there's nothing around here" only to have that very creature spawn right in front of someone I'm grouped with. I hatehearing someone else say"over here!".

1 . camo/maskscent should last a lot longer/be harder to break @ master ranger,
2 . master ranger should be able to harvest all of a given creature they have just slain( and more of it),
3 .traps should a lot be more effective @ master ranger,
4 . area track should have more distance/accuracy @ master ranger,
thats my 2 creds worth , hopefully we'll see some of it..........................
