My solution thus far has been to melee with the pet, transfer hate after WS while eating all damage and using Snarl after each heal/whenever possible, otherwise I'm sampling floor. -DT gear might become required if this trend continues, which kind of stings the inventory.
    So Charm doesn't work in these areas and you can no longer just throw pets at things, swapping out when your current one gets low on health?

    Charm works fine, it's the fact that any action pretty much turns the mob on you, and continues to do so, periodically till you or the mob dies.

    I did my experimenting with Falcorr, Nazuna and Gorefang. Unfortunately I sold my Charm set some time ago, so I did not experiment with charmed mobs, but the problem I noticed was not with my pet getting killed too quickly, the enmity generation seems to be set really low since the update. I wouldn't have said a word about it but the difference since the update is significant enough that I'm not even considering my BST for anything halfway serious in the new areas.
