Boots to get, lots of hit and extremely easy since they are vendor. I still have these cause I've never gotten a better pair to drop. Leather so they wouldn't show up on Daef's list.

The same faction that these boots come from also have
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44295 as a reward for being exalted. That fact that you can get both pieces from the same faction for an utter BOATLOAD of hit rating cannot be overlooked.
Missing shots can effect your DPS significantly. Every shot you miss is time spent with no damage done. Since DPS is a direct ratio of damage done to length of the fight in seconds, it hurts a lot, even if you miss 10% of your shots.
There's also some nice crafted BoE's you could hook yourself up with in terms of gear.
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43566 is a very nice cloak for hunters that is crafted by a LW. On my server (Borean Tundra), completed cloaks are selling for as low as 200g, which can be earned in an hour or two doing dailies. Since you can skin, you can get at least the Arctic Furs for it.
Not sure about the red socket in the helm for expertise. I was always under the impression that it was more of a melee stat since you can't parry an arrow and no hunter worth his aspect would dare melee if they had a choice. I would recommend socketing it with a +16 Agility gem (ideal) or if you're strapped for cash, 32 AP.
Your gear isn't bad as it is, and there's only a few stats you could squeeze out of what you have (+20 Agi OR 20 Hit to Gloves), 38 or 50AP to bracers, 12hit/12crit or 32 AP to boots, +8 or +10 all stats to chest.
Your stat distribution is just fine. Just minor tweaking of your hit rating will work wonders. May I recommend some points in Focused Aim?
