Very often the rogue attacks while other players are around and they'll immediately break it, or my pet will be in defensive and break it. I don't think I ever reacted to a gank by putting the pet on passive then hitting scatter shot. Or I'd execute it perfectly then back off (at the slower movement rate) instead of turning to run or strafing
So it may very well be an "I win" button but it wasn't one I ever came to grips with
Once I max out I'll probably play around with different builds and have another go, for now I can't see myself dropping Spirit Bond

Your pet should always be on passive =(
You can do two things:
1) Scatter shot and try to get some distance, although if might not work well if you have crippling poison on you.
2) Second method is much better, but its much harder to pull off. Use Scattershot, immediately feint death, cancel it, place freezing trap and let the rogue get trapped. Get some distance, bandaid/eat, put another trap at your feet and proceed to dish out the pain. You don't really need scattershot for the freezing trick to work, but sometimes the rogues will catch up too early and put you back in combat before you can put down the trap.
