That is pretty much the only way you have around it. Another viable option is to taunt the pet at any opportunity and hope that he will either stick on you at the exact moment of the CC and break it or that he has auto poison application and will dot you to break the trap. Other then that you can use the trap downtime to do stuff like smash your face against the keyboard because thats pretty much all you can do.

You're druid should be eating most of the traps. A lot of this match depends on you killing the pet and your druid keeping the hunter within your reach. Even if you're having a hard time killing the pet it's much more taxing on both the hunter and opposing druid's mana to heal the pet than it is to heal the hunter. It also gives their druid much less down time to drink. Even if you aren't killing the pet I can guarantee if you druid is LoSing properly the hunter will recall his pet til it's at a good level again. This gives your druid time to drink.
If the druid is eating traps (this can be kind of a crap shoot at times) the only CC that should really be of concern is Cyclone. Your druid should have their druid on Focus of course, not really to interrupt CC's so much but to watch what CC is being cast on you and feral charging -> CC'ing the hunter in turn to keep him close to the you. Especially if your being rooted instead of cycloned.
Just make sure you don't try to get cute and just switch to the druid because you're mad he's making it difficult to kill the pet. The hunter will start laying into you and force your druid to shift out of bear to heal and most likely eat more Vipers than he'd like to. Cyclone costs a decent amount of mana. Make their druid heal and cast Cyclone the entire match and you will win. Even though it's annoying being Cycloned right when a pet gets into execute range. You will need some help from your druid in the form of Eating traps, rooting, feral charging, and bashing the hunter to keep him close to you.
