I think the pet tanking raid mobs is a pre-kunark era issue. Taking out stuff in sky was possible because of chain petting with lots of pet casters, something that was always possible technically, even in clasisc. Mobs with legitimate AEs would tear pets up.
I could see the concern considering 10 mages could probably down the AoW, even if he was 1 rounding pets 80% of the time.
Also pets were kinda OP here pre-kunark, even more than live a bit I'd wager. My damn shaman pet was parsing 35 dps in sky when given 2 weapons and buffed. That was more than rogues for the most part.

Yeah pets were OP in other ways. One thing being the high lvl pets shouldn't have been auto-dual wielding during Vanilla, they had to be given weapons. Pet chaining should have been less effective because of the drop in DPS from not dual-wielding. Melee damage tables during the 'vanilla' era of p99 were also off and melee damage was operating in the higher-end of the spectrum than it should have.
So a couple things that were unclassically overpowered compounded with things that were classically possible and resulted in actions taken to address the end-result, which were pet-zergs.
