But simply put: Deus -> Auto-Regen to Full -> Dismiss and you can summon a fresh auto with all it's HP, MP, near to no burden, and all the JA attachments ready to use instantly. >_> as for BST resting in piece, SE didn't change the DMG, just the range. BST is annoy as hell to play, but it is still VERY MUCH a power-house. I also have watched CORs deal out a crap ton of DMG from the safety of ranged as well, and yet no one bats an eye. Things are very much possible with a lot of jobs, you just have to have the right tools to do it.

I suppose you didn't know SMN pet can tank too? Ever heard of Dawn Mulsum if your inventory can handle it than that's the way to go spam and spam so your pet don't die. If one resort to using many Dawn Mulsum that just show the battle is a tough one. I'm surprise this is even allow to happen for so long because Bst, Smn can also tank too.

From my personal experience SMN is probably the best pet job in game. The reason for that is simple DD love smn because it can buffer party and protect them from getting one shot by NM using Titan Earthen Armor. Pup and Bst can't protect others but only help itself survive bad situation. Pup need some support and adjustment to make it so their pet do decent amount of damage. I'm not asking for PUP to be like SMN doing 5x 99,999 with astral conduit in less than 20 second. There has to be something better for Pup than doing 5k to 7k Armor Shatterer.
