Has to be something ranged oriented, so many melee DPS or spell DPS classes out there, I was really shocked when they made the Ranger epic a sword and not a bow. Bothered me all the way through that Rangers did more DPS in melee than at ranged.
A few thoughts.
Worn Trueshot discipline, or a clicky with a short cooldown. I'd prefer worn.
Alpha damage aug, ranged only.
Not sure if possible but something that allows ranged attacks to double or triple attack would also be nice.
I don't have a Ranger yet but that's my vision of a Ranger, maybe kinda boring to play, just stand at range and auto... Still, it has to be set apart from other DPS classes, and really it would be the only class that utilises ranged alpha damage as its primary function.

Currently the Ranger has more augs than slots when it comes to the bow, however when it comes to melee this is not the case. Everyone gets hung up on the Ranger being a ranged attack class. With the exception of a few points in time, rangers have almost always been a melee class with ranged support. Currently as it stands, when the need arises I can destroy with a bow. Where I feel rangers are sorely lacking in the light tank department. I don't want to tank like a true tank, but right now we are lacking in my opinion.
I main a Ranger and am in all infused except the jewelers augs (still farming my jewelers fragments) and feel we are 90% where we should be in pretty much all aspects. With that being said, this is in relation to similar geared other classes (not quite full infused).
For a ranger class aug I have put some serious thought into it. Honestly as a ranged dps we are spot on and I feel that no specific augs need to be made for ranged at this time.
As far as a Alpha ranged dmg and proc aug, there is already one on the GGoblin that does exactly this and is Ranger only. I feel a 2nd one of these will either give me yet another ranged aug to have to pick between that I really don't need.
If we are going in the realm of Discs I would like to see an aug that proced weapon shield (ranger)defensive for maybe 4 to 8 seconds (or 2-4 attack rounds). As it stands that disc lasts 24 seconds for rangers with an over 1 hour 7 minute cooldown (maybe a reduction in reuse like a lot of tank discs got)
Or better yet, I would LOVE some sort of Get Out The Way aug. Maybe something like 50ac 500 hp 75 atk that procs a self heal (150 maybe?). These are all in line with the ranger "Light Tank" role. It would give rangers an option to remove a dmg proc aug and put in something that would allow them to tank just a little bit better. As noticed the proc is a heal vs a lifetap so no additional damage from that, purely some survivability. In comparison this aug as I listed would heal for less than a GOTW, has less hp/ac and only slightly higher attack (light tank higher dmg). Honestly I'd love to ask for the moon and ask for something like a heal/nuke proc (not sure if its possible to put 2 spell effects on a single proc like that, while a lifetap would fill this role, a heal/nuke combo proc would be more "in line" with rangers as we have heals and nukes we use frequently.

I'm a Ranger that also plays as a light tank although I'm only Tacvi/SolC geared. The ranged DPS idea would be awesome if this was a 3box or more server imo. As it stands Rangers are pretty fun to play as "tanks" but my main feeling for what is lacking is another avenue for healing (such as an additional lifetap aug) and some form of AE agro. We really need to be able to tank a bit better and also grab mobs off our healers if there is any intention for rangers to be mained here. Agree completely with everything Sordid has already said also.
