Please tell me exactly how you "interact" with your pet? You put on DoT's and press one button to contagion the mobs. Wow all that interaction just blew my mind!
With the lack of time to test it I mean that they did not have any idea how users would react to the way the job plays. To say that talking about the problems that you have with the class will do nothing is simply you being a Debbie Downer. People expressing their feeling about the game in the official forums is what COULD lead to either changes or shape the way the job grows in the future. I know that changes would not be easy but it is by no means impossible. Why couldn't you hand out buffs and nerf dps on smn? Technically there are NO support classes. BRD is dps "technically". SMN already has awesome dps why not scale it back and give some buffs?
