I stopped playing my mage on Live before Serpent Spine, but the AAs Suspend Minion & Pet Discipline gave a mage a very good control over their pet and the ability to hold a pet that was buffed to the gills on top of having a regular pet
/pet hold
/pet focus
Only real pet push trouble came with Host of the Elements.
Can't remember with what patch pets started to share their master's resists, but it was really useful and helped pet survivability VS raid target AoEs a lot
