While mages don't get any crowd control options, it could be used as a ghetto method for breaking certain camps (making spider nets unnecessary for that use).

Here, nope. The other issue I have with pet classes in general is how often NPC mobs hit for max damage in comparison to retail. Pets largely don't feel as robust in comparison to Kunark / Velious era in taking camps on.
I remember they made a command to make pets not cast at all because people complained they casted so often.
