Sitting is something you never never never ever do.

I sit all the time, even when I have my pet tanking something. You have to play with proximity and other things, and you have to be ready to stand immediately if you see the mob's animation stop briefly (because their first set of movements after switching targets causes a small warp, at least it does for me). Sit/Stand have always been on my action bar for my casters.

Something you just learn to do is root your mobs and not expect pet aggro to keep them positioned. As a soloing chanter (in some cases), I would pull with tash, root the mob and allow it to hit me once (while stabbing it to get at least 1 pt of damage), back off, slow it. I might throw in a dot early in the fight if I know my pet can't handle the slowed mob.


But root is simply a way of life when you're trying to group with your pet.
