From what I understood, Mages used a slightly different method to kill mobs before the pet aggro was bugged, before whatever changes that occurred that causes all pet aggro to switch to the mage. Back then the Mages wouldn't bother hasting or putting DS on the Pet. All they would do is start Summoning a New pet before their current pet died and then right before the spell landed they would use pet get lost. Mages used to be able to chain summoning down certain raid targets. This is probably not a viable strategy anymore, except maybe with the Earth Pet. I believe they wouldn't cast any buffs or DS on the Pets, so that the fresh pet could instantly pull aggro from the Mage each time the new pet was summoned.

Pets definitely need DS at the the bare minimum, chaining an earth pet without DS is pointless, it will just die without doing any damage. I'm not sure why you are bringing up some obscure way to kill a raid mob, that wouldn't even work. You would need to chain summon fire pets with the innate DS to do what you're taking about.
I understand how the mechanics used to work just fine, I had a mage then too, even if that was still the case the earth pet would need a DS. Also I'd like to point out that post 55/57 you need to haste the pets as well to keep up with mob HP. I'm not sure what you're trying to argue at this point
