How do hunters misdirect?

Firstly, to use it you must target a friendly player or pet that is in your party or raid and cast misdirection on them. This puts a 30 second effect on them and you. This effect transfers the threat from your next three shots (that happen within the 30 second time frame) to the target of the misdirect instead of you.
