SO basically its a MM with only one pet and a blaster secondary
Sorry since you clearly put a bit of thought into this but, to me this suggestion kinda seems like "That other MMO has this so we should too" the name of the AT kinda supports this. Hunters really don't fit into the lore of the game enough to warrant its own AT. Don't get me wrong you wanna make "Hunter" type survivor char, feel free, but as its own AT doesn't really fit. Besides, the game already has a pet base AT, and it fills this role fairly well, with good damage and support ability.
Also the CoH pet AI is best comparable to a small red brick in terms of intelligence. With MM it can work well due to shear numbers, but having only one pet to rely on as your means of survival is a recipe for frustration, if one of your zombies get stuck on a menacing rock, its slightly annoying but you get 5+ still fighting, if your bear gets stuck, well... good luck!
If you want this badly, roll a MM and only take the last pet, or roll a Domi and don't take any of your primary but the pet

You could probably do it. With power pools opening at level 4, the addition of powers to each pool, and epics opening up at level 35 with 5 powers in them, I think you could do it.

I really should do something about this signature.

OP, it is usually futile to suggest something this far-reaching with such specificity. The devs may add a new AT some day, but it is highly unlikely it would be anything near what you've posted. A defense/ranged damage AT is unlikely outside of the epics.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
This isn't a defense/range thing exactly... it's more like a mix of MM primary+secondary in the first slot and Dominator secondary in the second.
But it *is* pretty unlikely. I'd expect more Pet epic pool sets like the PPPs before anything along these lines.
Edit : Ooh. That gives me an idea.
It's not at all "Ranged/ Defense."
The Hunter's primary power set is more of a support-type power set.
They have control and knock back or knock down powers.
Limited Resistance powers.
Some pet Resistance powers.
Single Pet summon power.
Self, Ally, Pet heal powers.
Self Buff powers. Eg: Self to Hit, Self Offense.
The Hunter's secondary power set is Assualt not "Ranged." Which mean it has a mixture of melee and "Ranged."
I made this Archetype because I like having one powerful pet and fighting along side it. I tried playing as a "Master Mind" but it was too much pets or henchmen. Then I played as a "Controller," but it takes abwhile to get your pet(s). For the "Arachnos Crab Spider" it's the same as the "Controller," the only difference is that it takes a few more levels to get them.
I want to be strong like a "Dominator" and have some support powers like a blaster, with one pet helping me.
By the way what does "/signed, /unsigned" mean?
Signed or unsigned means likes or dislikes the idea, as though you were signing or refusing to sign a petition.
It's highly unlikely they would create a hybrid support/pet set category like the one you suggest. It's substantially more likely that they would put a single pet summon into a blast or support set; although still not all that likely, I would recommend re-working your goal into a Support set (that Masterminds probably wouldn't get access to and Controllers may or may not) so you could have Defenders and Corruptors with a pet. Trick Arrow and Traps are probably the best pre-existing examples to start working from.
Or, you could support my Wilderness Mastery APP idea. 
Hunter Archetype
