SoD pet SUCKS

I was grouping on an alt the other day and was in a group with two bsts, one was 81 and the other 84, both not raid geared.. had maybe 60-100 aa each, and it was (and I am sad to say) pathetic to see their DPS and how fast they and their pets would die on a bad pull. 

The bolded parts are the problems, a Bst at those levels with such low AAs are HORRIBLE at everything, they will get beat down by LB mobs even since no defensives, so soloing will be hard, their DPS will be low so in groups fights take forever. Am guessing that even with Raid gear those Bsts would still be bad DPS and still die almost as quickly cause of the low AA count. Level is not always greater then AAs.

Rake/Foray line and feral swipe put out close to 300dps by themselves at rk 2/maxed swipe/maxed crit.
They've really put alot of our dps in abilities/special spells.  If I were to not use yowl or FS/Foray, my dps would probably drop by 30% - 50%.
