What are the chances of us getting some more stable slots?

I know other classes will come out flaming on this but I can't help it. I've got a core hound (caster nightmare), Rakshiri, ghostsaber, Nuramoc, and a blighthound for when I change spec to SV but I WANT MORE! I've just got to have Gondria, and I've been wanting to try out a bear, they are supposed to be buffed since the last patch and lion's and tigers amd bears oh my! Phew, so do you think that we'll get some more slots in the future? Do you think blizz will bring back the Ghostwolf as the next spirit beast? Should I get out more and lay off the coffee? You make the call.
Hunters are not a class we are a brotherhood.
God save the Alliance!

Man where is the love guys? Look I'm not attempting to be practical, I'm wishing. I know we have what we NEED. Am I the only collector in Azeroth? Oh well I guess I'm alone on this one

On the one hand, yes I would love to have more stable slots. The only limit to any other classes gear is how much bank/bag space they have. Since a Hunters pet is essentially his "weapon", it seems unfair that we are limited in that way. It'd be nice to have enough space for not only the usual suspects, AOE Tank, PvP, Raid, etc, but some novelty pets and more situational pets as well. I am beyond grateful though that they gave us more slot already for WotLK...
On the other hand I can see from a design and client performance standpoint why they limit it. The thing is, I'm not a big fan of their reasoning behind limiting tamables in the first place...

The problem is that hunter's pets are something we hunters get attached to..then they change things around and our beloved <fill in the blank> isn't so viable for play but I know I for one never want to let them go :(
I wish they'd make it like the non-combat pet/mount tabs. We already HAVE a pet tab there showing our current pet, put the stable interface just below the pet xp bar imo and ADD SLOTS (from a dreamer's perspective)
Yes Yes I know we just got more slots and I am very very grateful for them. Doesn't mean I don't want to have the current most viable pets (some would for 2 specs) AND my old buddy's from bc that are no longer the best pets for their respective jobs.

I'll gladly take more stable slots! I realise 5 is more than enough on a practicality level, but it's the RP'er in me that can't let go of pets. I don't *need* two cats and a Spirit Beast (that I'm likely never to use again) but I can't stand the thought of letting any of them go. Humar has been with me since Arathi Highlands, Ghost Saber is too neat to let go, I don't use Charles my Gorilla very often but he's very dear to me and I can never let my Spider FatCharlie go.
But I want to try out the new flavour of the month Wolf!
So yeah, more stable slots! Make them stupidly expensive I don't care.
I find with Hunters you either need no stable slots at all because you are bound to one pet and one pet only, or you need more slots than is reasonable.

Well I'm glad to see I had some brothers and sisters that knew where I was coming from. And BTW my son likes Pokemon I collect exotics baby ;) Well to each his own, I do hope we get a slot or two more in future patches. For God's sake, they screw things up enough when they patch anyhow. Well keep a weary eye out for that one that's been escaping you, its all about the thrill of the hunt!

Yeah, this is really what it is about. I never want to let my cat go, but he isnt the best for either BM or SV anymore. I love my wasp, who has limited usefulness in heroics and 10 mans with a specific group make-up, so I need a slot for her.
There is also the practicality of Dual specs and call stabled pet.
I, for example, am dual specced BM and SV and raid in both, but also want to do some PvP and arenas.
here is what is in my stable:
Cat: had him since 10, not loosing him, use him for raiding, both specs currrently.
Ghost Hydra: Tanking, zombie kiting, questing pet. Also, just plain cool, since you cant get them anymore.
Wasp: love the look, love the name (LiteBrite). Not often useful, but situationally, can be EXTREAMLY useful. I notice and over-all dps increase when I bring her into 10mans where we have no other way of decreasing armor.
Nether Ray: I don't use him often, but I am now attatched to him, and I do like the inturrupt in arenas.
Empty slot: Reserved for when I find the Green Devilasaur. I know some of you are spirit beast people, but for me, this guy is who I stalk. I see many spirit beasts, but I have yet to see one person on my server with this guy.
But here is what I would like to have, and they all have situations where they would/could be extreamly useful:
Spider: a nice SV PvP pet
Silithid: a BM PvP pet
Corehound: another BM PvP pet
Dragonhawk: I would like to experiment with this pet, SV specced on long fights where I go oom. I still think there might be a viability in the cunning tree (especially now), if managing their ability means never running in viper. I want to try this one, because it seems to be the highest dps of the cunning family.
Wolf: if I am gonna play SV, I would like to play it the best I cn
I really want those 4, and that isnt even including all the pets I want for looks. . .
I think, if you pay the 1000 gold for dual spec, you should also get another 4 stable slots!
