You can put in targets for almost any command.
/petattack [@MainCharName-target]

If the pet is in defensive, it will attack the mob that the hunter is attacking, automagically. They changed that like in 3.1 or so. So you can just have the hunter....
/assist [@MainCharName]
and the pet will go after the same mob.

Hope that helps and good luck.
Currently I just use
/assist focus
on my hunters, maybe I should try adding the petattack as well then. Cause now when I tell my hunter slaves to assist and shoot at a specific target, one or two of the pets often face another mob after they have charged. And they do this even when original target still is alive, it happened several times when I attacked elite mobs in dungeons.
