That's pretty summony summoner to me.
Our strongest single attack to be sure, that adds some fairly minor amount of micro-management. I do enjoy that bit of it, for the same reason I enjoy all the other rotation related stuff. But, in terms of being a class that is strictly focused on summoning big monsters that fight for you, not so much.

Even when there was no dedicated summoner, the summons were still big and impressive, ala FF:VII.

Even if nothing changes, I won't stop playing the class anyways. It just seems that the summon aspect was kind of an afterthought, mainly due to the 'presence' the EGIs have, and the fairly small amount of stuff you can have them do. They are always a good chunk of my DPS though.
