So I just got to level 30 on my DemonHunter and I am sad to say that I still don't feel anything from this class, I'm kinda at a loss with what the best skills are and though I don't really have a problem with him anymore I don't really glide and plow through the game as with the other classes- any good hunters out there care to share some advice with me?

I agree with feminism. I don't think that it's right that for every dollar a man makes, a women gets 70 cents. Why do I only get 30 cents and some chick gets the rest?
Sorry for being so vague, I just am not sure which skills to use, I'm not really getting the best results, Best dps and survivability with them. Just a few suggestions for the more common builds.

It's hard to give advice if we don't know what build you're currently using. Do you have a socketed weapon with a ruby in it? That always helps a lot at the earlier levels.
Use Steady Aim and Archery (while wielding a bow) to increase your damage. Stay at least 10 yards away from enemies at all times while using Steady Aim. Try socketing your weapon with a Ruby if you haven't already. Also, socket your helmet with an Amethyst and use the Auction House to buy some decent gear for yourself. I'll warn you on that last point though, it might make the game too easy.
For leveling, I recommend:
Since you aren't 42 yet, you may want to use Puncture run for HA, or Bola Shot/Volatile Explosives or another Hatred Generator of your preference. http://us.battle.net...dYTV!Yeb!YabZZb
Hungering Arrow -> Devouring Arrow
Elemental arrow -> Ball Lightning
Vault -> Tumble
Caltrops -> Torturous Ground
Companion -> Bat Companion
Prepration -> Battle Scars
Steady Aim
Archery
Vengeance
You can also swap out Ball Lightning for Frost Arrow and Vengeance for Cull of the Weak.
Smoke Screen you will need by the time you get into Inferno, and possibly Hell. You may want to swap out either Vault or Bat Companion for that. And possibly take Tactical Advantage.
I also enjoyed Mark of Death (Contangion) while leveling up. There lot of viable builds while leveling up. The one thing to consider is does this ability synergize with a passive or another ability? Also what are your expectation at this level range?
I cleared normal mode in record time (for me at least) on my DH, so I really haven't got a clue what your standard is. Here's the build i'm using at 33: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#aQYdXV!Yea!aaZbZa
I don't know what you're using now, but until you hit Inferno just about everything is viable. Try everything and see what you like the most.
This is the build I had at level 30: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#aRjXVT!Yea!baaZaZ
Actually, I used that right up to Inferno for the most part. Swapped in Nether Tentacles at 59, back when NT was super OP.
The leveling part of the game is the only part where you really get to play around with your skills, so enjoy it while it lasts.
Best of luck!
