No issue with dead pets if you have swiftcast.
True but this is assuming no one has died, if you aren't in a full FC group or static group for primals (particularly titan X) chances are as a SMN you have ressed. Additionally I use SC for others thing during primals since I don't let my pet die but an inexperienced smn might make the fatal mistake of letting it die and not have instant cast.
