[Citation needed.] I for one, am perfectly fine with the pet + DoT archetype here.

The only way to change the Summoner is to split it from the Arcanists and have the Scholar keep their current skill set. The Summoner should get Fire, Ice , Earth and Wind Elemental DoTs, a Stronger Elemental Avatar Pet and Utilities such as Self Buffs, Group Buffs, Pet Buffs and Single Target Buffs. Summoner should be able to cast more spells on the Pet.
Cast - Radiant Plume, Eruption and Vulcan Bursts for Ifrit Pet
Cast - Weight of the Land, Tumult and Bomb Boulder for Titan Pet
Cast- Great Whirlwind, Friction and Razor Plumes

Summoner Pet should get Hard Mod Primal abilities and look like a Hyur Highlander Scaled Primal.
So, apparently, you want the summoner to render monks, bards, black mages, and dragoons completely moot. Not only do not understand balance, you don't get it the dev would like to see a mixture of classes played, not everyone playing just one.
