You can't put the focus of the damage in the pet, and then have it be immune to damage.
We have the ability to heal our summon ourselves and since not every boss is Ser Adelphel placing 20 stacks of bleed they can survive well enough even before all the damage ignoring powers the egis got way back and it wont cause stress on a healer to throw out a regen and thats if they would even want to since we can just swiftcast summon.

Hell if the summon got more focus we could get a trait that reduces summon cost if the pet actually being relevant causes it to lose the damage resist as well as a new trait to buff sustain.
