They nerfed it pretty bad so it's not really that useful anymore.
Pre pet-pulling nerf it was a very fast way to get xp. Basically buff
pet, have it pull lots of mobs, shield pet, chain heal pet, have your
aoe casters finish off hurt mobs once pet gets good aggro.
Pre focus-shield-aggro nerf and focus-shield-against-deep-purples
nerf, you could basically take down high level mobs by chain healing
the pet while the mob beat itself to death on your focus-shielded pet.
