The Previous Best in Slot for Demon Hunter guide posted on here, with original credit to ACE from the D3 forums, is a little out dated since the 1.0.3 patch and attack speed nerf bat. Here is an updated list for BiS gears for a demon hunter, with updated stat priority.

Stat Priority on Gear – (Aiming for best possible damage with ‘ok’ survivability )
Critical Hit Chance -> Attack Speed -> Critical Hit Damage -> Dexterity -> +Damage
****Remember****
IAS and ASI are different on legendaries. Currently only IAS is broken on legendaries, but is supposed to be fixed by patch 1.0.4.
(IAS = Increases attack speed / ASI = Attack speed increased)
