Can't disagree on the deadzone issue, though the DPS as I recall was mostly a gear thing in vanilla. What spec are you running? If pets are causing wipes I suspect you're doing it wrong. See next comment.

Question: are you making use of a /stopmacro statement at the top of your DPS macros? If you are not, this is why you are randomly pulling stuff. Pet classes suffer from this where normal melee (I think) and casters do not.
What type of DPS macro do you suggest that can have stop macro.. with the Vanilla API's on private server it has to be very simple DPS macro

I am simply running-

/assist 'TANK'
/script PetAttack()
/cast Shadow Bolt

The issue with pets causing wipes is simply that something in the background is targeted and my dps macro is pressed they will run off into the distance and start attacking them causing a bunch of adds to charge at me once the pet is dead

Obviously I can simply take the /script PetAttack() out and get them to attack manually with a different key but this would drop the DPS they are doing a fair bit and add more complexity to an already complex process

So its a trade off of more dps vs the occasional wipe... if i just had another mage it wouldn't be an issue

The Classic API's are going to be a lot different with much more flexibility in macros however so I understand that these issues may not even exist
