They are both summoners. Both have tank pets and dps pets, right? Can magicians heal the pet like necro do? Why is necro better at soloing, because of feign death and life tap? WHats the difference on their pets?

Necros are a tremendously versatile class probably best described as a hybrid monk/enchanter. The skeleton is nice but it barely scratches the surface of what a necro can do. FD + snare + CoS means you are a solid splitter, root + screaming terror gives you some CC, damage over time spells + lich means you can root rot, the heal over time spells are extremely good, and then of course you have charm.
Magicians do have some tricks (mostly involving Call of the Hero) but their spellbook is far more limited. 99% of the time it's send pet & nuke. On the other hand, what mages do they do well. The epic pet is disgusting (although not quite so good now that it's balanced vs melee with Velious gear) and even just the normal Greater Vocarations are very good and the focus staves are easy to get. 33 point damage shield is fantastic. And Magicians can nuke nearly as well as a Wizard.
TLDR: both classes are pretty underrated, but Necro is far more of a finesse class.
