Wouldn't hunters be better off leaving their guns/bows equipped at all times? I know the dead zone is gone and although I lack a lot of knowledge about hunters, I'm pretty sure you'll do more DPS with your shots than you will with your auto attacks. Correct me if I'm wrong.
On topic, I would use equipment sets as well. I have them for cooking, fishing, and PvP, and at the end of Cata I was using an AoE set and a Single-Target Raid set. For a macro that decides between two equipment sets based on which one you're wearing when you activate the macro, the one Shxdxws posted is perfect.

You absolutely
don't
want to be equipping melee weapons at any time as a hunter. That's the entire point of being able to shoot point blank. You seriously need to re-evaluate your skill as a hunter if you're considering this.
I mean, this is worse than me trying to DPS with Wrath and Moonfire on my
Feral
druid.
Don't do it. Ever.

With how quickly focus recovers, a few arcane shots/explosive shots (spec dependant ofc) would easily out damage a melee white hit

An auto-shot should even outDPS a melee white hit. Perhaps the melee weapon is heavier so the up-front damage seems higher, but the ranged weapon may be faster at the same time.
I'm still doubting your rationalization aszy. Sorry to throw your request for help into question, but I'm no stranger to hunters, and I'm definitely no stranger to theorycrafting. I would put gold on it that your assumption that a melee hit is helping you out is absolutely incorrect.
In fact, if it were it would constitute a valid bug report, because this is precisely contrary to the design of the class and should never occur. If the developers were made aware of a situation where melee outdid ranged for hunters, they would promptly change (fix) it. (Even still they did not rework the mechanics in favor of such a bug happening, so I'm still contesting that you're correct.)
