[blizzard]Hunters should be able to off-tank with a defense-speced pet but aren't meant to main tank anything with it.[/blizzard]

I've healed some hunter pets on tanking random elite mobs in SMV, and that Gorefiend quest line where you fight the invisible (sort of) dragon. That was good time : /
While I was leveling in Nagrand I healed a hunter's pet (a boar) who tanked the ring of blood battle.
