Crappy pet aggro

[Velerin]

I know this seems to have been a problem for a while and I'm quite new to the server but is there any chance pet aggro will ever be fixed? My level 29 pet has to hit 2 or 3 times on a mob before it outaggros my 5 point DD I used to pull. I tried pulling with cancel magic or malo too but those seem like even more aggro. (Should cancel magic puling really be much aggro at all?) I know people pull with pet and back him off to get by this but sometimes that's not a good option and leads to adds. Will my level 34, 39...59 pet be able to outaggro a 5 point dd w/o multiple rounds of combat?
And also of course, the whole send pet at mob and if you're sitting it comes right at you.
Has it been this way the entire server or is this a recent bug?

Thanks,
Velerin
