Hey Peck, are you running Titanium on a standard UI?
Buffs will land on it, but there's no pet buff window in classic which is probably why they're not visible. Any pet class has to either timer or "guess" when the buffs they put on fade as it stands at the moment.
Speaking from a necro perspective, from a certain point you can give your pet 2 rusty weapons to make its damage increase and I know its the case for enchanter pets too, just not sure on the level. Rusties will do the same dps as bronze, fine steel etc... don't go spending big money, and if anything buy rusty daggers in cities if you can find them on a vendor (much lighter carrying 8 daggers around versus 8 long swords).
It'll be a bit of trial and error but I'm sure someone on here knows the exact level the pet turns into a dual wielding maniac

If you can get your charisma to over 150, and 200 even better... then don't rule out charming at level 12. Charmed pets do much more in terms of dps, but the risk is when charm wears off, you need to reapply it quick. For a better chance at an effective (longer duration charm), make sure you tash the mob first
