I acknowledge that the introduction of Meta Pets has been pretty dynamic and although I won't be able to afford a meta power-house, I think they are awesome.
I do think we have an opportunity to blow the doors wide open with the way Tamers are used in PVM. With the introduction of the new Meta Spider, which I am told is supposed to be used as more of a tank, we are seeing pets used in roles (or we could anyways).
My suggestion is to look at either the rare white horse or the unicorns as a 2 slot casting pet that casts HEALING spells on other pets in the same party. I think if done correctly, this would bring some pretty cool group dynamics. Make the pet ONLY cast beneficial spells and probably (for balancing sake) only have them cast on other pets. If they are only casting on other pets, the whole (PVP vs PVM) argument is invalid because honestly who the hell cares of a horse is healing a pet in PVP.
I have been told Unicorns function similar this in some era of UO which would mean it might not be a hard code.
