With Pet Macros as part of 2.1, you Scholars won't be forced to drag 2 Bards in the party! Cheer everyone as Selene, whom is rarely used for her 'Random' Silencing, can be much more easily controlled and you can use her to Silence on command without 'Micromanging' the pet hotbar!
I wouldn't count on it. I have had no problems commanding Ifrit to use his stun ability but he is pretty slow to react, especially he he just cast another abiility.

That delay is way too big for silencing something when you've only got a second and a half window to do it.
The delay is only if the pet is already doing something else in the moment. It finish first it's attack (or healing), before it start to follow your command.
