Pets can just be considered a ~80-90 potency DoT that has an HP bar.
Unfortunately that does seem to be the case a majority of the time. I think with a few adjustments to the Egi skills, however, it could add incentive to use their skills with more frequency in conjunction with our own.

In my opinion, the biggest problem with the Egi (as mentioned in my original post) is that there is no distinction between Emerald Carbuncle, Topaz Carbuncle, and their Egi equivalents. Changing some of their skills or at least adding additional effects to the Egi would at least make them more worthwhile, especially considering we have to clear the main scenario just to undertake the quests.
