Try pet pulling with a shaman or sk on 69.1 hard. All it takes is 1 stun from the mob to eat their pet and the only reason necro pets survive it is because of the aforementioned pet rune spells.
You need new friends if you are using mage pet pull on 69.1 its gimp as hell zone/mission that is better served by just using snare and zoneline with either ranger,sk, or necro. Not to mention the OP question on FD pulling. Really your leet tactics let you pet pull a 69.1?!?!?!? OMFG nay it can be done?!?!?!

Even then, the necro pet may make it back at 10% health or less and requires mana from the cleric to be ready for the next pull.
You claim to understand the concept of pet pull but say you give a crap if pet survives? Why the hell does the cleric have to heal it? You too leet to heal it yourself? If you want it in the next fight do mage pets not heal back to full by the time that happens without heal(necro one does fyi)?!?!?!? If mage pet does not yall got bigger problems then all the smoke that has been blown up your *** by all the other leet mages you know.
What it comes down to one thing Really on a pet pull who the F*&K cares if the pet lives?!?!?!? oh nos I wasted bonechips? Worst/best case pet dies and I unsuspend a real pet, resuspend and recast a pulling pet.
A suggestion on pet pulling you may need to reuse your gimp pet, it may die, dont be a gimp and unmem the spell. I suspect that if you are then this is causing your downtime.
I think the truth of it is you have a high level something and have seen pet pulling done, but based on what you have spewed I have trouble believing the rest of it 70/70/60/60 yadda yadda not buying it. You probably have read mage boards and like everyone else like having your ego rubbed. Why, cause it doesnt sound like you have the real experience of doing it yourself and are regurgitating others oppinions.
Back to OP on raid I prefer a monk puller over all others. Why? We raid with 2-4 necros and I want them all out of it and with the opportunity to give me get out of "jail free cards" ie my raid didnt wipe cause I used a necro that I could have saved to rez (also lets face it monk outmitigates a necro, yes even one with all AAs). I want my bards alive because we again raid with 2-6 and I want resist songs and all else bards can sing to save us on the fight and with the almost inevietable AoE. Sks I save because we to be honest run somewhat light on tanks like 6-8 and i want a tank backing up my back up backing his back up on down not to mention my Offtanks. If my monk dies I lose dps but its not unrecoverable DPS and with a rez I get most of that back right away, If I were to use a casting class I would lose their dps gotten off them having mana until their mana is back. So for raid monk best puller by far with some exceptions depending on mob strategy.
Yes even though mage pet pull is the shiznit<smirk>. I would save them they have 2 things I want on my raid CotH for the inevietable dummy that ninja afked, and I want their nice dps. Would I use them to pull in a raid setting? Nope never can you spell W I P E and that is why we FD pull. Pet pull in most settings is just slower then FD pull no matter who is doing it, and is always riskier then FD pull. If the FDer knows what they are doing. With a FD puller you lose the FD puller sometimes, with a pet puller you just lose sometimes, well unless your a pet puller that can FD. Not really sure how to make that more clear to you.
