Pretty much that, I'm afraid, hope you get lucky is the only answer
I've come across for my characters so far, anyway (not hunters, but
most classes have the same trouble). Looking over Wowhead there's only
three options outside raid drops:

1) Farm a lot of conquest, seemingly after you've earned 7250 for the
season you can then buy http://www.wowhead.com/item=94326

2) Get really lucky and both see and then win
http://www.wowhead.com/item=90176 on the BMAH. Probably only for the
very rich.

3) It seems http://www.wowhead.com/item=94826 has a very low chance to
drop from one of the summonable group-required elites on Isle of
Thunder.

Being honest, I'd say farm the LFR bosses who drop weapons is probably
the easiest option there, unless you happen to like arena/RBGs a lot.

The turtle boss in throne of the thunder drops the bow. You are lucky as the
turtle boss is the first boss of part 2 of TOT and there is like 2 trash
packs before the boss.
What I did was run the raid and use the extra rolls only on the turtle
untill the bow dropped. You can do this multiple times each week (as much as
you have coins for extra rolls). So just queue for part 2 kill the turtle,
roll, leave raid, rejoin queue kill the turtle again, roll etc etc.

Our guild's retired raidleader - a hunter - had been running around with
a blue bow for 4-5 months when this gun popped on bmah a few weeks ago.
We decided to bid for it and let the guild wallet pay the coins (we
were ready to pay the big bucks for that gun). He wasnt aware of it so
when he went to bed we begged his wife to stay online and log his
account. She won the auction at 29.5k gold. The next day he logged
almost an hour went by before he realized he had a new gun. :)
2 weeks later it popped again and the latest bid I noticed at "long" was
around 120k. Ridiculous. But I'm not surprised as the hunter class is
absolutely the biggest at level 90 compared to other classes - even DKs.

Awesome, bet he was delighted when he realised! :-) Love it when
people do nice things like that :-)

Yeah I can believe it, prices go insane on popular items, and hunters
do indeed seem most common. I'd thought paladin or DK was up with them
on my server but checking warcraftrealms at least, hunter just wins,
by 1%.

you could do archy and get the gun from digging.

Like the polearm it is pretty nice and better then any
blues you'll find until you get lucky in LFR.

Being already exalted with Archy, I picked up one of the 24hr trinkets
at the Lorewalker. For those that don't know about it, one crated
artifact gives you the ability to not only get only Mantid dig zones,
but limits them to the western edge of Pandaria. I got both new rares
in under 2 hours of total digging. Even better, many of the dig sites
are so tiny, anything more than five steps in any direction to hit a dig
spot is a long walk.

If you are trying to fill in the old rares as well with crated
artifacts, the 24hr trinket cuts your flying time back and forth by over
90% as well.
