the problem with parking is more about parking the mob in a bad place. this is especially true in dungeons where the camp is cramped and the pulls can come from more than a single direction into camp.

the basic problem is that if the pet is guarding you need to hit two buttons to move him off if he is aggro'd at the parked place (follow, and calm). If the pet is not parked you only need to hit one (calm).

i wouldn't say its an always thing, and given the choice i would prefer to always park...however, there are definitely times when just leaving the pet on follow is better.

its really the discretion of the necro reading the camp what the best thing to do with regards to park/follow. the problem isn't so much the lack of parking/following I have seen with most necros, its that they can't understand why its so important to think about pet positioning at any particular camp...the result being that they just do their thing, and often cause issues.
