Lvl 53 Mage Fire Pet, what's the point?

Actually now that I think it about, in order for the extra mana cost to even break even, the Higher pet would need 2x the HP and 2x the damage to be worth it. Or possibly 2x the AC somehow. Yeah I'm extremely skeptical that the Higher pet has 2x the AC of the 49 pet.

Unless my thinking is wrong about this. I actually think that the 49 pet is more mana efficient to use. If I'm wrong about this, please explain to me why my thinking is incorrect.

It is upwards of 8 lvls lower, which means higher level mobs destroy it and it kills much slower. If your farming greens I could see it being viable, but for xp mobs it's worthless at higher levels
