It's still a lot less mana than wizzies blow to kill stuff. I'm assuming youre in your 20s or lower. Once you hit 29 the mana cost of pets actually goes down from 240 to 200. Then its better to just resummon and chain pet rather than heal.
Sometimes I also just summon the highest level pet I can get, deck him out with swords and buffs and let him just eat half the exp (especially in dungeons where you don't want to ever be stuck w/o a pet). Sounds like you might be targeting too tough of mobs for efficiency.
