It's nice of you to agree with me before I even post!
2 priest group:
Illy, troub, wiz, lock, inq, (mystic or fury) - I prefer mystic for wards, but some prefer fury for dps.
1 priest group:
illy, troub, wiz, lock, (second wiz/lock, conj*/necro*), (inq or fury).
I put * beside the conj/necro because there isn't any 'great' support for pets in any of the bots. It's just a ton of extra work for very little, and pets still die, and have to be recast etc. If this is worth it to you, then go ahead, otherwise I'd probably make a second wiz.
Inq or fury... I can't really comment, I'm too big of a fan of 2 priest groups, including the mage group.
How about coercer,troub,wiz,lock,inq,mystic? Would just have to figure out how to get a little more DPS out of the healers.It's nice of you to agree with me before I even post!

The Fury will bring more DPS than the Inq, both personally and to the rest of the group via Fae Fire/Tunare's Grace proc/Energy Vortex. They also have one of the best personal control cures in the game(works even with "uncurable" control effects).
However, if you need to be able to cure while moving and/or a constant stun/stifle immunity, then the Inq wins out. And I suppose if you're being sploity the Inq does have one more group cure(it's possible to have both repercussions spell and mythical).
On a side note, if your summoners pets are dying on a regular basis they're either doing something stupid or your pet support code sucks
. But if you're talking raid geared characters, especially beyond EM, then sorcs are a better option as they scale better than summoners.

I'd replace the troub with an illy. PoM is better DPS than PoTM+Precise note, and Time Warp is boss with casters.

That makes me cry... no troub with all those yummy casters... I'd just ditch the coe for the illy.

In heroics pets don't seem to be issue but in a raid group it might be annoying on a Cony, that's for sure, Necro is pretty workable tho. It's also sweet utility for raid and group specially since GU61 imho. I think you've built in the functionality needed to have a pet class play well in most circumstances.
Obviously it's not there to try to make the pet avoid AOEs or back the shaman pet off when it is a pain and runs in front of the mob (happens a lot) but that is a huge pain to do even playing just the pet class on its own, so can't fault that.
1. Make sure you put points into the pet summoning speed AA, and strive to keep casting speed as capped as possible. Pets will then summon very fast. Make sure Blood Pact is kept up on necro if raiding or in some heroics. Now you also have re-animate if you choose to spec for it.
2. Pre-cast pet stoneskin with soulburn or elemental blast if conjy. With a necro pet you don't really need to worry it generally won't rip aggro (till the pet to not go in until 98% instead of 99% if you are concerned about this on raid mobs I suppose)
Annoyances are: Conjy pet dies to AOEs nonstop unless micro managed.
Pathing sucks, and sometimes mage pet will stand "frozen" out of line of site.
