I recently attained aspect via mage/hunter class I currently play, and I was wondering how viable hunter pvp is as of this year, and preferred methods/routes that leads to affliction stacked damage, or secure blood poison stacks to rupture properly?

You want to be looking at Brainmelt, primarily. Bloodpoison is definitely possible, but Brainmelt is a bit of a path of least resistance. You're looking for sensitivity being present on the target before casting it. More later, but this should help a little.
If it wasn't for AM having Naga, I'd flex into that profession.
Monkey boy.
vs. a dangerous mental damage-based class? You want to push a list of afflictions that might help you bury the avidya toxin, which provides ignorance affliction - a 33% cut in their mental/INT-based damage output.
vs. a dangerous phys class? You want to push weariness - same thing, but vs. STR. You also have the option of clumsiness in this lineup, if you need even more mitigation.
vs. dangerous agile? Push psilocybin, which is ineptitude, which is as above for DEX-sourced classes (Engineer, Diabolist..)
You can go for locks as Hunter, but it is easier to just push a bunch of afflictions at once and go for the brainmelt instead of being cute. The class is built not to go for locks, but to manipulate your opponent's curing in odd ways to make headway. People that do not respond appropriate to supremacy triggers often find themselves losing to Hunters. Recently retired Astris actually started off as a Hunter and he was killing some of the highest investment players present at the time with almost nothing to his name. He followed the above advice and took to it from there.
The biggest hurdle is ensuring sensitivity remains during the brainmelt; a mental aff, for Brainmelt calculations, is about 20% of maxHP in psychic damage, before resists last I checked. Something to chew on.
