Tank Jobs' Opinion on Summoners Tanking

[Lumines]

It was useful once when I was in AK doing a huge pull. Healer was absent minded and died to Dullahan cleaving. If they don't release right away, I'm sure brez would have solved any issues, but every situation is different. Summoner swiftcast summoned titan egi to split the amount damage I would take and we avoided a full a wipe. However, for that one instance of usefulness, it has also been a huge source of grief especially on mobs/bosses with cleave pulling a fast one on everyone. Tact is key here, use your better judgement and for the most part (99% of the time), we want you to DPS, not help us tank. So a Garuda is prefered. This has nothing to do with if the titan is tanky enough, i just prefer to have full control of mob positioning when I'm tanking and not leave it to a pet.
