As far as i know, a stalker now is pretty much INVISIBLE with the real meaning of the word. Even /Devices blasters can only see them at 10 feet, and that with a full perception build. Stealth IO+Hide+stealth takes stalkers to the cap, which means that they can only be seen at 10 feet. (Perception cap is 10 feet higher than stealth cap) I am not sure if someone can hunt them the way they did before 2-3 issues. I believe that letting a stalker unhide on his own, even if this means that he attack someone or he get hit by AoE is the only way to see him and hunt him down. Bare in mind, i'm talking for a GOOD stalker. 
This is as I feared which means there are only a few tactics to killing a stalker and hunting them down is near impossable. Still I like a challenge and have no care about how offten I die while finding a build that can in some way hunt stalker

After all the devs designed stalkers not to be seen until the last second, so stealth cap > perc cap is fair enough IMO.
Patch powers such as Tar Patch/Caltrops. "Rain" damage powers and Arctic Air's -Stealth aura.
And theres always the old chestnut that is stalker bait. Stand around phased and let them try and AS whilst you aim/bu and unleash 
With the steath cap, "hunting" stalkers is nigh impossible without use of the stealth bug and some educated guess of where the stalker will be when you get in range. It's far more about exploiting their errors in judgement (i.e. attempting to assassinate you when you are at the perception cap), seeking them out when they don't want to be found is pretty much impossible.

Chances are stalker will be phased before aim+bu kicks in . If I AS'ed a blaster and got the 'unaffected' banner, you can be sure phase is the next power I would use while superspeeding away

This leads me to think that phase needs to be removed from the game
They are not completely Invisible, as far as I'm aware...
I thought a /SR Scrapper (as well as Ice/ Tank?) with Focused Accuracy and Leadership, as well as perhaps a +Perc IO would have no problem seeing Stalkers?

Only in a distance of 10 feet.
Which means, in AS distance
AS distance of 10 feet? pr0
Whats the point of making a "toon" to hunt one AT anyhow, most of the stalkers ive come across these days that are any good are near impossible to kill anyhow....the point im trying to get across is whats the point pouring all your inf into making some "uber" stalker hunter which i dont think is possible anymore, why dont you just have fun in PvP.
Just roll a ice or fire/em blaster, move around alot and try to catch a stalker trying to kill another guy, pop pb+aim+bu, go for melee with bonesmasher then fire of the strongest blast u got = in most cases dead stalker.

Don't think any stalker goes out of hide without phaseshift up lol

like who? Aranos X?? that guy is such a noob!
OK I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to PvP but I'm going to give it a go.
and they also like to duel as they want to test and improve there builds.

This may be impossable but the question is there a build that can actively hunt stalkers?
I know scrappers do well against stalkers (I have a dark/reg which does really well against most despite not being built for PvP) but my problem with scrappers is that most stalkers once you've beaten them up (arrested). They rarely target you again and hunting them down as a scrapper is virtually imposable. There are a few very good stalkers who will come back repeatedly trying to kill you and some succeed
But what I'm looking for is a build that I can actively hunt stalkers with. I have 2 in mind a blaster and a controller (both squishies hoping that they will also hunt me). I know the biggest problem will be perception and that some stalker builds have maxed invs/stealth so that any perception I have wont see them but I'm hoping to be able to see some.
Any suggestions welcome (even from stalkers
