I probably SHOULD have bought several other AA's before i even thought about any of the pet AA's, but i found that of all the AA's i've got, none were a waste, and i'm very happy with the results of them, i agree that /pet no cast is a slap in the face to us though, i havent bought it and probably wont, i just dont see the purpose of this AA, for shaman atleast, if i dont want the pet to cast...guess what...i wont give it panther =P
Pet hold and focus were a great buy however, its great for pet pulling, especially since with pet focus you can chain pull while 1 mob is still alive, whereas w/o pet focus, your pet will simply attack the mob in camp when told to attack the new target you try to pull.
I cant begin to tell you guys how much mana i've saved and how much PA has helped dogdog stay alive, the nice thing about this is that for the raiding shaman that has a pet on raids (personally i normally pocket it on raids anyways), but this allowes the pet to get healed by group heals (instant also as far as i've seen) and HoT's from group heals and MGB heals, ancestral aid and even 1.5 click.
It is kind of funny however running through PoK to see "Your pets Chorus of Marr spell has worn off" hehe. Persistant minion was very nice aswell, however i wish they would change this to allow you to keep your pet when you camp with out having to suspend, i normally forget to suspend dogdog before I camp and therfore loose him when i log back in =(
My shammy is only in the 250ish AA range, and i still have more to get (need to finish off last rank of adv healing adept and adept mastery 1-3 soon, quick buff, Ancestral aid 2 and 3, and a few others, preferably defense, oh yeah and delay death 1-5) But seriously thinking about actually banking up some AA's for this expansion, especially if we see some canni upgrades.
