It seems that on the whole, the Epic Pet is slightly better than the Greater Vocarate line most of the time. The DS and the proc are nothing to be sneezed at. That said, the recent nerf to the epic pet on blue (which we must assume will also be applied to green) means its white damage is actually less than any of the non-focused GV pets (67 for epic vs 68-70 for GV). The epic is waaaay more tanky, though. It's stuns should have quite a bit more threat and the HP comparison is not even close.
Since the epic doesn't backstab, any situation where you get get your GV: Water pet behind a mob it should outdamage an epic pretty easily. That said, the water staff is not too hard to get, so after getting the epic you could probably 2-man Phinny with it to get another water staff :P.
