Once again you show you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to EverQuest.
The benefit of announcing heals is so that others don't overheal, and thus waste their mana.
The benefit of announcing within a CH chain is to communicate your timing to the next cleric in the chain.
The benefit of announcing what mob your pet is attacking is.... there is no benefit.

I expect more knowledge and expierence out of you Mardur. I am fairly dissapointed.
This is very useful. Everyone knows who to blame when the pet breaks the mez. Let alone its the same thing as /assisting on %T , accept your doing it a pet. Often times the caster can get confused and or pet depending on the zone. Kedge etc for example. Therefore It lets you know what the caster has his pets on. Lets say the pet is offtanking something and the pull was say 5 mobs? Well bard is trying to mez them one at a time. This lets the bard know which one not to mez possibly if the names are different or he can visibily see the pet attacking. There by allowing him to mez the remaining of the mobs and for the caster to reassist with the /pet now attacking %T , bard can now mez. Since bard mez is on a pulse. Nuthing is worse then mezzing a mob to find a pet was on it and you missed that pulse now I have to wait 6 seconds to mez a damn mob again , meanwhile bard gets beat on for however much damage. Therefore this can be useful is utilize properly.
Do I think its necessary? No , but it can have its uses like all things.
As well guilds that know strat. Know that mage pets are great offtanks if you have a decent number of them you can take a buntch of mobs down. If you don't know whose pet is who and your suppose to pull your pet off after one of the 3 or 7 mobs is snared. The enchanter mind find it better to communicate which pet is on which mob etc. Everyone who knows strat knows that Water , Earth , Fire, Air pets combined differently can be a very lethal force. Especially when pet Oting/swarm kite. Theres plenty of instances you could apply this macro too. Whether or not it fits the groups / raids role at the time is determined by its player and or leader.
