The only piece of advice that I can give as far as pet control goes, is what has worked well for me. I use a gaming mouse and have assigned any pet actions that are on a separate GCD to the mouse binds - inclusive of CTRL SHIFT & ALT functionality. Between those, and the pretty cool pet macro's (including focus targeting) that have come out, your pet can almost function as another player. The downside to that, is if you're going to become that reliant on your pet, 1) your healers need to be aware that he's that important and 2) you need to be situationally aware enough to protect him from the banish, or be ready on the sac / insta-summon should you be spec'd that way and the situation require it.

I was hardcore demonology for 2 years until 2.0 came out but I seem to have lost my ability to micro manage my pet somewhere in the last 7 months of not using it. From 60-70 I used nothing but my Imp, then levelled 2 more 70's (rogue/BE Paladin) and then went back to my warlock. I'm probably going to stick with it but I seem to die a lot faster/more often than I did with my imp and I can't figure out why. It doesn't make any logical sense. I spent the greater part of my time pre-TBC on my warlock PVP'ing (until my rogue hit 60) with my felhunter, then from 2.0 release to TBC release back PVP'ing 16 hours+ a day with my warlock-Felhunter. But from January to present I haven't had him out for more than a few seconds.
