At this point, they should really rework SCH. Then rename SMN to necromancer, give it undead pets, change the animations a bit. Then make a new summoner job that somewhat resembles what it's supposed to be based on. Either your suggestions above, or a much more pet-focused class with the pets out full time and you commanding them. They still need to address the action delay when ordering pets because it's still clunky. Heck, it's clunky for any job right now when you finish a spell / ability and try to do a duty action (Emanation, V 2.0, etc.) and it doesn't fire off immediately.
