Summoner's pet doesn't really add "extra dps" either, it just makes their dps on par with everybody else's. It's not like their pet is a special 5th dps. It's more like summoner is 0.5 dps and their pet is the other 0.5
Not from what i seen, besides while the pet attacks if you choose to you could even help do other things, heal, revive, Summoners are still very useful.
