The only time I’ve had a pet die in a group was killing summonable mobs (cliff golems, eejag, phingal). In these cases if another pet or player is on it you won’t get summoned. Get another pet up and send it in ASAP.

I just want to point out that if a mage pet has top DPS in a group then when the pet dies, the mage will get all of that aggro and then get summoned and die.

While aggro does seem to transfer its not a 1 to 1 ratio. Otherwise every warrior tanked encounter and pet break would be instant death to an enchanter with a 200dps pet. Watch an AoW fight with the PC’s handling their pets sometime. There are videos online.

I’ve never had this happen as a mage in a group. Eejag or Phinny as pet fights. Enchanter duoing cliff golems when the enchanter pet breaks if a mage/necro/shaman pet is on the golem no PC summons happen and it doesn’t even chase the enchanter, just sticks on the summoned pet.

Do you have tangible experience with all this or going off theory? You might stop and actually try these mechanics before dismissing an entire class. Especially one with some pretty essential tools.
