Her ultomate is comparable not to Swain's or Nidalee's, but Jayce's, meaning you must switch it often and frankly I find your statement about melee range quite strange. Why don't you complain about said Jayce in the very same situation? Sh has armor and Mres boost like him (a bit less), minions sugnificantly increase her damage output, and after that 3 seconds nothin prohibits you from changing into human form again and unloading other set of abilities ( including stun) at point blank range. And why to be afraid at all going melee against ranged mages(most of champions you've mentioned are ranged), you have an advantage over them. And again do not forget to change form when it is needed, Nidalee harasses in human form and usually changes when opponent on low health, she can harass in both modes like Jayce. Keep it in mind and I think you'll do much better.

About ganks. Ganks, if you can not land stun certainly, are about closing distance with E, then Q and W. If they flash or run or your buff expires and you feel you need to shut them THEN you changes into human and stunning them, then using other abilities  then closing distance and changing again to follow with Q. Forget about benefits from high or low health if you can not utilise them in most optimal way in current situation, being able to stay on target longer is much better.
