You seem to have ignored his real complains. The pet is there, but now it works even less than a pet. Her skills are use through your skill bar, you cannot use her for deployment of shields, she cannot be targeted so positioning of the pet only matter when ti comes to her healing reaching everybody. Furthermore, now Selene has become a skin of Eos, meaning that they have even less importance. At this point, the fairy is becoming more and more a superficial element, the "healer pet" aspect of the class has been through expansions simplified to a degree that it stop feeling like you had a pet at all.

Bane does kinda feel weird to lose, but Miasma's potency was rolled into Broil and Bio and you actually do more damage not having to spend that extra gcd on reapplying Miasma. What's the point of Bane if you only have one dot to spread? If anything it could be rolled into Art of War as a trait.
Again, speaking of numbers, when it just feel like shit not managing multiple skills to maximaze damage. My DPS could be now amazing, and I would still prefeer the old system as I have to though in advance how to manage the 2 CDs to minimize loses. Bane has become pointless because the rest of the kit is just gutted.
