The reason he is claiming it to be dead weight is because the Wyvern's defenses were like that of a naked-no gear player and one AoE attack or two from a boss fight killed it, and thus you would have to wait for the beast to be resummoned. OR you could try to keep it alive and Spirit Link (give it a % of your HP to heal it) and piss off all the mages because you just lost like 500 HP in the blink of an eye.
