So I haven't played a mage in... a few years, but as a pet class I'm gonna chime in here.
You don't like the way monster summons were reworked due to 1 mechanic (rampage) cramping your style to mass pull bone dragons in DN while boxing a T13 tank. That is, like JAFF said, an insanely niche complaint. Swarm pets AFAIK or can see, were never meant to be aux tanking any mechanics which is why their HP is such garbage in first place, but simply meant as a quick dps boost temporarily on a single target with "a mages flair" for thematic reasons.
I would argue 1) against farming DN dragons if you're boxing Moraelin anyways because that is a massive waste of that toon's duo capability, and 2) realize that your pet could be eating that rampage mechanic (you did get boosts to your healing capabilities pretty significantly from what I've heard). I don't want to come across as crass here (new leaf and all), but I think you might be having some "cognitive tunneling" with respect to your current playstyle vs how the rework improves the class dramatically. I do mean to come across as crass though when I say you need to take Moraelin somewhere tougher than DN dragons.
