Maybe if you eventually had controllable companions and could swap between them for additional direct control... Until then I just want my pet to be able to move semi-intelligently, cast-cancel in favor of silence/stuns, etc.

Generally put, I would love gambits, but I want worthwhile direct control (made worthwhile not just by unnecessary or obvious faults in whatever alternatives exist). Take that as you will.

I do not however think that we'll see it in game unless companions are integrated (perhaps as part of a catch-up system meant to feel more "FF" than being able to solo instances), or in something like LoV, etc.
