A drg's damage and ability to build TP are severely hampered without the wyvern. Telling us not to summon it is like telling a pld he can't use a shield for the sake of triggering. (I guess it's not much different than a blu having to gut his spell list for the sake of triggers either, but two wrongs don't make a right). Tellings DRGs to "not do their job" is not the answer.
However, I haven't personnaly experienced wyvern survival to be an impossible task in VW. The use of steady wing, spirit link, and (most importantly) temp item pet cures has been sufficient to keep the wyvern alive for 20 minutes. Careful positioning to avoid frontal AoE is important as well. In my case, it's far more common for me to lose the wyvern from my own death than from it getting "one-shotted". You gotta be quick about it of course, but Im as diligent in healing my wyvern as I am in healing myself, perhaps moreso. As such I don't see the need for an adjustment in wyvern survivability or recast. Seems pretty good as is, especially now with spirit link timer halved.
