I don't remember it being either way as I never played a pet class but if pets couldn't mitigate any damage what is the point of the mage line of spells that lets them summon ac gear for their pets?

I believe he is talking about mitigating PvP damage. As it stands, melee is mitigated by 66% or whatever in PvP, but in classic I recall that this didn't apply to pets, you're damage wasn't mitigated. AC and everything would still work for them, but they wouldn't reduce spells or melee in PvP by 66%
