A few thoughts from a new level 50 SMN:

1) We should be able to command our summons 100% of the time. When we are casting, we should be able to tell the pet to do something. When I am riding my mount, I should be able to tell my pet "back off".
2) Turning SHOULD NOT interrupt a cast. Furthermore, SureCast, which stops you from being interupted (BLM spell), needs to be fixed. Either the wording, or the spell, because I get interrupted when I run with it on.
3) Pet's need to be quicker to respond to commands. I tell my pet to attack A, he hits B 2 times more before moving to A.
4) Tri-Disaster.... really? It's "Binding" the enemies which causes my pet to disengage. Why would it disengage on a root?
5) Ultimate spell, I think this really needs some help. Not huge damage, and the animations are quite low. Would love to see a pseudo/alpha image of the primal during the use.

1) That would be nice
2) Turning only sometimes interrupts casts, but sure it can be annoying. Not being interrupted and casting on the move are two different things. Surecast is a garbage ability because it only works on interruptions from damage, not cc, so I would be okay with it being more useful.
3) Cannot agree enough
4) Bind is broken by damage, so your pet stops attacking to not break your CC
5) Enkindle is a dumb lv50 ability. It's a perfectly fine spell, but it's pretty underwhelming as the final spell in our arsenal.

On the rotation posted above, Shadow Flare should be part of your core rotation. It does the most damage per cast out of any of your DoTs, even on single target.
