The COR stays out of AoE range and can go crazy with the damage with almost no fear (doesn't have Wildfire yet) that he'll take hate from the NIN or WAR. In my situation just like yours the COR isn't needed but it is helpful the difference is in my situation they don't have to be "careful" while helping.
As to the "right jobs or you fail" comment on a personal level that is false (this is where your own fun matters), then again that has always been the case. However on a community level that is accurate, but then again the community has always been about efficiency.
My favorite jobs in the game are COR, PLD, and BLU. 2 of the 3 (3 if you discount procs, AoE farming, or T4 Voidwatch) are not efficient if the core jobs haven't been covered. Once the core jobs have been covered they still aren't efficient in most situations but they are helpful. I'd be ignorant to not acknowledge this fact of the current game. Heck once upon a time a party that didn't have a COR or BRD in it was fail...
If you truly enjoy doing things a lot slower and less efficient then that's cool, but don't expect the rest of the community to think pet regen/regain is useful because that's how you roll.
