Red face Builds using Runes

Can someone help me understand this please?
I am looking at a build that has this attribute setup

Beastmastery 3
Channeling Magic 10
Expertise 14 (12 + 2)
Marksmanship 11 (7 + 4)
Restoration Magic 3
Wilderness Survival 1

What is the +2 and the +4? I thought those kind of runes did not stack?
Also if I already have a beastmastery rune on my armor piece and I then put a Marksmanship rune on it, does it over ride the Beastmastery rune?

Thanks for any help

+4 is basically from the helmet (+1) and a superior rune (+3) making a total of +4 markmanship. The +2 is just a major rune of Expertise.

1 piece of armor can hold 1 rune only btw. You add various, but into different armor pieces.

The + 4 comes from a markmenship headpiece (+1) and a superior marksmenship (+3) :P

While the (+2) comes from a major rune of expertise.

Usually runing like this is pretty dangerous, and is often only done to reach breakpoints or for specific farming builds. The extra health is far more valuable than the small amount of damage you often get in return. Although this can be little more relaxed and you can often find rangers runing dual majors because of their better survivability (and because 14 expertise is awesome)

Yes, it does. Because of the reason above.

.

The question has been answered but to add a little...

Always put the highest attribute rune on a headpiece of the same attribute. That attribute should be the one you are going for the highest trained level in
