If Summoner revolved around the pet, (i.e. it did most of the dps) that would open up issues with them having massive dps loss, if the pet died. I believe at one time or another Yoshi P even said as much. That is the reason why Summoner has the dot focus. Dots let them manage the pet, or rez fallen commrades with losing too much dps.
