I haven't done any parsing but from my experience MS2 seems to be about on par with the 49 Earth pet. I'm not sure what dafier is basing his advice about it being the best pet until 57 on. I would be interested in seeing the evidence for that (and I'm not trying to be argumentative here - the spell is damned fun, and if I could justify using it more I would like to do so). And yes, the 51 Earth pet is weaker than the focused 49 Earth pet in terms of having fewer hit points, but the max level 51 pet is also 4 levels higher than the max level 49 pet. It makes a very big difference when tanking and DPSing, so if you're not chain summoning you're better served by getting a max level Vocarate pet and buffing it 50+.

I understand what you are saying. Just run a parse on the max level MS2 pet, not just DPS, but damage taken. MS2 with top level DS you have saves on over all mana spending and adds to survivability when soloing.
Also, 57 Earth (max level) hits harder than any pet in the game aside from Epic.
The pet level is a HUGE difference when it comes to it engaging a target. If target level is 45 and you have max level 49 Earth with focus compared to max level 51 earth or MS2, then parse the incoming dmg to the pet. You will see a very noticeable difference.
Also, there is a 100 mana difference between MS2 and 51+ pets.
