Read the pet guide on the wiki. Then re-read it.

Read this, it's basically the necro bible:

Also, how hard is it to deal 50% dmg to a mob so you get full exp?
If you're going to be killing the same type of mob for a long time (treants, city guards etc) take the time to figure out exactly how little mana you can use to get a mob to < 50% health. Then, in future fights, cast those dots and send your pet, but don't kill the mob until all of your dots have worn off. This is the most efficient way to max the value of your pet without worrying about losing xp to it.

For example, for hill giants:
Turn pet taunt off. Pull with boil blood (longest duration), pull it to where you want it, send pet, wait for pet to take aggro, cast dooming darkness, cast venom of the snake to pull aggro off pet and aggro kite it, cast vampire dot to regain lost hp from lich form. With full duration dooming darkness, boil blood, venom of the snake, and vampire dot you should have done just over 50% damage. By that time the (unhasted) pet should have it down to ~15-20% hp so let the pet finish it off but not before boil blood runs out.
