Scholars...why....

The pet ... stance switching (from steady to guard, after every special move) is really getting on my nerves, dying to unavoidable encounter mechanics.

Totally agree on this. I'd like to be able to save Whispering Dawn for you know...when I ACTUALLY need it lol. As soon as you make her cast Embrace she goes right back to doing whatever she wants.

Also giving commands while casting, that would be great :P Other than that, I've been really happy with SCH so far!

Have you tried putting her(your pet) on "Obey"? She will only cast her spammable ability and you can choose when she uses her special abilities. You will have to recast Obey when you zone or log in/out but seems to work for me on the carbuncles as I level with a melee dps partner and can't stand when the emerald uses his/her/it's knockback skill. I haven't gotten high enough on my rerolled character to try it on the fairies or egis but I would hope/think "Obey" would work in the same manner for the job pets.
