I'm on board with these ideas, especially looking at the boost pup gets now w/ the automatons casting a wide range of additional magic; with a vast majority of it benefiting the master... the purpose was to re-define the job considering how it was being left behind and re-establish its position as a solo job...

A dark-magic version of haste with a low cast/recast at or near lvl 99 would not be over powered by any stretch; with a 2-handed weapon this addition to the job would significantly help its dps and output; PUP gets it and more... no reason not to spread the love to jobs that now need it in order to make them much more versatile.
