Did that really work for you?
Mez only blurs like 1/3 of the time, and your animation will finish off something from 2% if the mez fails before you can cast again and get a nuke off, for sure. So there goes 2/3 of your tactic's effectiveness. And then even when you do get a blur, it usually won't be timed such that you get a regen tick, which means the pet may still finish it off before you can spend a few seconds casting a small nuke. And even if the pet doesn't finish it off, it can still out-damage your small nuke. And if the mez does blur, the pet breaking the mez may get you smacked before you get the nuke off. And if the mez blurs and you get a regen tick up to 6-7%, then either you're not casting a "small" nuke anymore to finish it off and your low-mana killing isn't actually happening, or you're not going to get the full XP over your pet.
I see a lot more possible situations where this doesn't work out well than the ideal, perfect "you blur at 2% and manage to squeeze off just enough damage of a nuke to killsteal your pet before the mob dies."
Don't get me wrong. As I've said, the animation has some important niche uses, especially for people who just don't want to charm for whatever reason. But I feel like people who keep praising the animation for being sometimes useful for some people keep overstating how useful it really is.
