Tecmos, I agree with what you said, except comparing pets to mage and necro. Buffed or not, I grouped with a 30 mage and 30 necro at 30 for a couple levels, and my pet ALWAYS drew aggro of the three. Certain situations would not only be safer, but more practical to use a pet vs charming ie-no healer or shaman slows in group, you can worry less about charm breaks and keep more mana for slows and Mez. When I take bites on purpose I always use my runes and Rampage for added shielding. I also mostly group with a Paladin capable of snap aggro. I usually save charming for rogue mobs or soloing. It is an awesome class with many strategies that can all work if you play it smart.
