Remember, the committee will look at your overall package you provided.
What are your hours of service? LORs? hours of shadowing?
Personally, I didn't go the master route. Here's why:
1) Classes are harder.
2) Not all students who did a master program will get accepted
3) Expensive...... Double lost here-- wasted money on master program and didn't get accepted.
If you have the cash, then go for it.
I retook a bunch of classes and boosted my GPA at the fraction of the cost of a master's program.
I would say my stats are relatively similar to yours, but I had other factors on my application to compensate my weak spots.

In terms of MCAT, should I be looking at retaking it?
DO NOT RETAKE A 506 FOR DO ADMISSIONS. That would be a huge mistake. If you're looking to go DO, I wouldn't even do a master's. Instead I'd retake ALL F/D/C coursework (AACOMAS has grade replacement) and get c/sGPA to above 3.3. If you can do that, your MCAT will carry you, and you should be fine.

You need to fix your deficits, not just keep repeating your strengths.
