+1 on the torch of alna. I can help, but will not be on until this weekend.
I have found my heal to be way more effective than chain summoning. In fact, if you can time it right, you can keep your pet healed for almost no mana. As soon as the meditate tick happens, stand up and cast heal, sit immediately after. You should be able to get both med ticks with a heal in the middle. So before level 20, I agree with everyone so far, max level pet, torch in the offhand and get it buffed if possible. Especially with this healing trick, worth it to have pet kill lots of mobs vs re summoning and getting 100% on each mob.
Honest brings up a good point. See how much real dmg the pet is doing (melle dmg + prob dmg) you may not have to do very much dmg to get 100% sometimes. It would be nice to know what that number will be roughly, so you don't blow more mana nuking than necessary. I rarely nuke though, just rock that heal trick and enjoy the fast kill rate.
