I met two of my best friends doing this. You can also duo the plate house with this method and an enchanter. It's a lot of fun and the bond is strong!

For a "crew"...
I would suggest pet classes like Necro (cloth), Mage (cloth), since you want all aggro on the wolf. Tell them to turn pet taunt off. Necro being better on utility here.

A bard (plate) is always great for regen and Crowd Control (wolves can be mezzed).

Shaman (chain) for utility is nice, /duel and they can keep your pet on malo etc.

Enc (cloth) is the obvious combo.

Cleric (plate) can root for crowd control and combat rez you on bad pet breaks. You die, Cleric roots wolf/giant, then drags your body, then memblurs the wolf/giant, who should have at least 5 mins of snare, enough time to rez, resnare, reroot, and re-blur until you are ready to start up again.

Sk (plate), Paladin (plate), warrior (plate), monk (leather), rogue (chain) and ranger (chain) are harder to work with. A good SK/Ranger can help on dps/utility and stay alive, but the others are likely to try and melee and we want all dps on the wolf who has insane regen. If you have a cleric, more friends is nice though. If you have a chanter and they know how to joust, that works too.
