how are people adjusting

With the hp/ac nerfs and the limits to pet runes how are people adjusting to everyday life as pet tanking goes?
My basic set up of mage, bard, poor clr with 3 merc wizzys has been reset(Named only). Flopping 1 wizzy for a clr.. maybe a second clr if i choose not hot key heal with box clr. Just being lazy. As before this was not really an issue.. i load up the all the mage pet AA stuff and hot key lights on box... and just burn or toggle pet to spawn adds. My setup supports the mage being the focus and others only support and help get instance when that content is a goal.
EM14, ALL AA to pet covered. ALL dps covered.
Bard mostly doing the big 4 meele. with a mix of dual mana(pulse with regen song) sometimes using reckless foci for heal crits. Sometimes fire foci. May need to review options, perhaps AC song support with be needed in T3. Have not seen that content atm.
Different note i would like to say thank you to Pie and others. I agree with your posts on SOE boards about this misdirection of this nerf. Supporting Tank upgrades and needed tools rather than fix a side show.
Also. Appears everyone using the EW raid for the showcase example of why this nerf needed to done. As I understand it. Raid mob gets stronger and stronger with more PC deaths.. but no counter to pet tanking deaths.. Or am i 100% thinking of something else here? Just feels like the hardcore tanks are fine.. but the middle causal.. gimmie gimmie whatever class can do this or that.. that they are putting the effort. Is this more raid forces using what they have?
Agro Meter showing pet toggle. You see your pet on top but means nothing to me as i know any PC in range really has it.
Anyhow just what to see how others are adjusting.. the small stuff me likes.
travel well
