I'd caution that anecdotal writings of being summoned, could be just idiots confusing or conflating the phase proc nonsense.
But also fuck bards, make them all summon. Add summmons to every other bard swarm zone too.

I did a full analysis on the logs I have, despite nearly 100 various log files, I only have 34 documented Phase Spider kills.
The most I have in a single DN session is 8 kills in 1 log file. I wouldn't exactly call that conclusive, but its certainly curious... One may assume the main tank got phased somewhere in the 34 fights and if spider was high enough level would have immediately been summoned back (although rumor has it they couldn't phase pets).
This exchange is quite curious:

I show there were some phase spider bites for 151, 153, 155, 157 for max hits in a log file, that is at least a 4 level range. The fact that we see a 157 hit phase someone away yet not receive immediate summon message seems more like they shouldn't summon?
Someone mentioned having a live character to test DN spiders, if the level 51 spiders still exist there it would be best to agro the higher level ones and see if they summon after giving damage.
As you mention, perhaps phasing was misrepresented as summoning. It would 'make sense' that they wouldn't summon given the phase mechanic as it would eliminate a lot of the danger associated with phasing if you were immediately summoned back.
But as we know, not everything "makes sense" in classic EQ.
