Pet aggro issues?

While playing my necro this morning I discovered something was not quite right with my pet. Up until now, I've never had any issues with him maintaining aggro for me. My normal plan of attack was to send in pet, cast Deadly Spirit, follow it with Ignite Blood, and wait for it to die while my pet tanked. For some reason this morning, he cant hold aggro to save my life... He was taunting, had his pet haste, a bauble of battle, and cit weaps. The only thing that's changed is now i have a companion strength IV item, instead of companion strength III. Is there some kind of bug where more pet str items = less pet aggro? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is seriously increasing my mana consumption to tap my hps back as I'm now forced to tank...
 
If you mean generally, not that I've noticed. However, unlike other pet classes, you have one button aggro management. Feign Death

Deadly Spirit seems a more likely culprit since its both a dot and a heal then companion strength if something was introduced. But I would just FD. You will be using it a lot soon as you level the nec anyway.

Also, as you level the levels that comprise dark blue mobs expands. If you aren't doing the same mobs, its possible they are higher level and your pet is landing fewer hits.

I've been 55 for about 3 months, and had been able to solo the first floor of lasanth up to minos. I'd always use the same 2 spells + pet, as I said, nothing i've been casting has changed. I dont mind having to FD when the situation demands it, but I just want to know why my pet suddenly cannot hold agro at all. This problem just happened overnite
 
Well, whatever the problem was, it seems to have corrected itself, yesterday I noticed things were back to normal
