Summon a pet and sow him. Then use your lowest level slow. Throw 2 slows, send pet and kite the mob around. Once mob hits 5% reclaim pet, finish for full exp.

To reclaim pet. Do one of the mage focus quests from sol ro. You cant equip, but its clickable from inventory. This way you have zero down time and get full exp. Do misty thicket guards and then move to BB and do docks/dwarf guards to 48.
I'm skeptical that running your dog around to kill a mob (and then having to re-summon and presumably re-buff him afterwards) is actually faster than just using a few DoTs and a root, or using a few DoTs and a slow and meleeing while the pet chews on the mob (and then medding the mana back). I'm even more skeptical that that's true for all mobs.

The pet just does not do that much damage.

Your comment about the reclaim energy mage items is spot-on though: every Shaman should know about the "secret spell" which isn't on their spell list, but can effectively be acquired through a quest that wasn't intended for them.
