A survival hunter pet should channel a series of strikes along with the Hunter during the Fury of the Eagle channel. Fury of the Eagle lacks a punch at times. Including some more damage from the pet would make this ability a stalwart choice and would be as iconic for the class as Fists of Fury is for the Wind Walker or Rapid Fire is for the Marksman spec.
It could easily be optimized for ST and AoE by putting more damage to the focus target and less damage to the AoE targets around it etc.
How about throw the “red-headed-stepchild” spec a bone.
