Unless I'm grossly overexaggerating the usefulness of aggro kiting, why wouldn't you want to?

Seems like free exp almost, you run around in a circle singing sea shanties like a bard, pet isn't getting hit, so if you did burn any mana on summoning the pet, or casting expedience, you get a bunch back when you reclaim.

I'm for sure probably misunderstanding just how much aggro you get from pet death, didn't the threat always poof into the ether realm and as long as you didn't do any damage directly a new pet could pick it right back up? Nowadays is all that threat transferred to you? I remember the bug post about this but couldn't replicate the issue with my wee 29 mage.
