Necromancers role in a raid is to DPS with your pet & lifetaps, provide mana for clerics/enchanters via twitch, provide spot heals via shadowbond/pact of shadow. Your heals are so efficient it's insane, you can drop shadowbond on a person to heal them for 500 then while it's ticking cast pact of shadow on 2 other people to heal each of them for 320 each and then lifetap back the drained heal with 2 spells. Costing you a total of 420 mana while doing 1120 points of healing and 650 points of damage. All while you're pet is cruising away at 30-40dps (we've parsed it against spiroc lord, lvl 59 necropets will hit 30-40dps against it).
Depending on your level and where you're raiding you can ghetto mez with screaming terror, or else just root mobs off, but you shouldn't ever need to do that unless you're really low on enchanters.
And don't listen to quellren, pet DPS is great on raids, they never pull agro so you can sick them on the mob as soon as your tank starts hitting it without fear, so it can start dpsing 5-10seconds sooner and never have to hide/feign/diebecauseittookhate.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
