Mage pet DPS is clearly better than an equivalent level melee with mino axes. Also, pet will never get aggro from tank and even if a pet gets some "oops" damage on them they regen much faster than players so no need to waste mana healing.

But it doesn't really matter that it's better. Most groups aren't going to kick all non-mages, and low level groups still clear content fast enough to where people like the XP rate. That's the point. Just because it's better on paper, doesn't mean it has any practical use. Killing maybe 10 more mobs an hour due to the slight DPS increase isn't going to be noticed by most players.

If you want to Min/Max an XP group, you just need to run a static group.
