With the generous feedback this page has given me, I've decided to start from the beginning with an elf hunter since I've never played that class before, need help with the trait management plz! Thanks

For Endgame currently it's red with blue. But blue with red is also viable, especially for Pve. Blue with some red is more dynamic, red with blue is more static gameplay.
I believe you can reset & respec your traits at will whenever you're outside of combat. Early on, I think it's free. Later it might cost a little copper/silver/gold (in-game) currency. Basically enough to discourage frequent respec'ing while not enough to bother someone who wants a permanent change. Frequently alternating traits kinda needs to be done by buying extra slots. And you do start with 2, so a minstrel can be spec'ed for both group-healer and solo-DPS, and easily switch between.
Sooo... Play around. See what works best for you, what you enjoy...
I play mostly Blue with some Red on my Hobbit Hunter
Not as experienced as some (not quite to level 50) but the answer seems to depend on what you're doing. While leveling and exploring I've found primarily blue to be helpful and I'm just now starting to add some red. However, when running an instance I prefer to use pure red since you get two configurations and red is better for raw damage.
Yeah, you’ve got a long way to go before you need to worry about endgame. Meanwhile, blue lets you run and shoot, red does faster single target dps, and yellow adds cc for multi mob pull areas. They all have their uses.
