Oh, I agree -- I should remap them as well. My Ctrl key is too close to my Window key, so I sometimes inadvertantly swap out of WOW instead of Attack!

I use Come! (ctrl-2) mostly when my pet is getting low on health, then I pull him and his mobs to me and begin Pet Heal. Also, I use it mostly when I solo, when I do pet pulls, using Attack!, let the pet take a swipe, then Come!. The pet can run quickly to an outlying mob, and pull a mob back to within my ranged attack. If the pet pulls more than one, I have time to decide how to handle the adds.

My options for adds;
* TANK - have the pet aggro (Attack!) each target until he is holding multiples (only doable for the pet if the mobs are below my level)

* TAG TEAM - have the pet Come! all the way back to me, and we each take on one (when they are at or slightly above my level) -- if it gets bad and the pet dies, feign death

* SACRIFICE - have the pet aggro (Attack!) all targets, then turn tail giving me time to escape, and when I'm safely ahead, call the pet to Come!, if it dies, rez him, feed him and we try again.

* SCRAM - have the pet Come!, switch him to Passive, turn tail and hit AotC and try not to run into anything on the way out of the area.

* SCARE - Choose a mob, Scare Beast, and press Stay! if the pet was attacking it, or retarget the pet onto a different mob and press Attack!, then try to Viper Sting (DOT) the scared beast as it is running around. Return to focus on killing the pets target before the scared beast returns.

There may be other tactics I use and I'll add them here as I recall them.
