Any tips on how to survive as a Hunter?

Edit: What does "Weighted Throwing Knife gets a second bounce" mean? I've been trying Athrry's Embrace in the shooting range and the knife doesn't seem to actually bounce. Am I misunderstanding the Exotic description? --- I've been trying to level up my Hunter, but I admit: I suck at it. I put Powerful Attraction on my cape and have plenty of Orb generation, where I'm running into problems is when Orbs aren't easy to come by, like during boss battles and whatnot. I feel like something isn't clicking, like there's a trick or a gameplay style that I'm just not getting. Or are Hunters just glass cannons and I need to learn to play around that? The build I'm using right now is Gifted Conviction with a few extra points in Class to get the Overshield, that Overshield has saved my -blam!- more times than I can count. Should I put even more points into Class for the time being? Thanks for any advice you can offer!

    I run that build with 180 melee, 130 super, 80 class. The secret is to use ascension with tempest strike and spam. Ascension makes you amplify which is a 15%DR, IIRC, and when casting it you want to do it the projectile from gifted hit targets, as that will give you up to 50% DR. Melee kills also heals you with combination blows I think. You can also add smoke jumper set to get a DR boost each time you pick an orb.
