I guess if you wanted to pet solo something turtle style maybe.
Sacrifices.
Sometimes running in guns blazing is not the best option, even though thats what the community typically chooses to do.
I can't speak for Adoulin content as I don't do it yet, but often times, if I'm facing a tougher fight then normal, I have my automation tank and I cover her, it's safer then both of us going in at full power and taking so much dmg left and right that we can't survive due to the damage being given out is not greater then being received relative to the monsters HP.

If you're in a group with a dedicated tank, or other party setup where your pet tanking isn't need, or fighting weaker monsters where taking less dmg is not important as dealing the most, then yes, 3 earth would be a bit pointless then. But that's the beauty of pup, it's adaptable to situations.
(If only we had a quick way to equip attachment setups >< so we could dismiss/deploy faster with a new set.)
