Adding an AoE pet would not only be a waste of resources, but it would be detrimental to the current design plan in the game of limiting regular AoE damage for all jobs. On top of that, SMN AoE is still relatively solid with Bane (800/30 seconds primary, ~445/30 seconds minimum), Painflare (200, 5 second cd), Shadowflare (250/15 seconds), Deathflare (400 primary, 200 minimum) and Akh Morn (680 primary, 340 minimum). SMN AoE may be clunky, but they still have better AoE than most jobs.

As for the Osmosis thing, sure, that could be something. Would likely feel better as a passive trait just so it's one less ability to worry about.
