It looks like in vanilla the big mobs simply ignored pets completely which led to some sploits:

Before Kunark major mobs ignored pets. When Paw first opened and the Ishva Mal was considered bad ass (Back before he was pussified and went from 12k hp to 4k hp) he also ignored pets.. made it SIMPLE for a 50th chanter to solo him..
Pull Ishva so pet would aggro.. Blur Ishva and gate to zone.. Ishva dies because he did not aggro on master (due to distance), and pet beat him to death without him defending himself.. run in loot, return in 30 hours to try it again. (yes, I saw it done that way)
They did alot of changes to pet aggro and summoning shortly after necros/mages figured out they could do this, which killed those particularly fun exploits...
