Controlling abilities manually for your pet will cause the stance to go from steady to guard.
Which means the pet will be blowing all it's cooldowns right away.

- It pops Fey covenant the moment the tank pulls

- It pops it's hot right in the pull.

If this isn't a bug it still needs a fix.
When I tell the pet to not do anything it should stay that way , even when I use one of it's cooldowns.
