But on a close fight an air pet is going to mitigate more damage for the tank (helping them survive better).

It also lets casters nuke sooner without things running off the tank (since the stun of the air pet is a bunch of agro, and if it's agro on the pet it will stay hitting the next highest PC with agro).

And damage wise, air pets are the 2nd highest in damage (just behind the damage proc of water pets).
Not a good strategy if pet selection is based on the perfect group that never had the tank die.

The air pet and earth pet are the same dmg and air pet dmg mitigation is trivial.
