It has no place in pvp/world.
The solution must be complex.
'Easy fix' for a complex problem usually gives birth to multiple new problems.
I mean, if you simply remove pet's aoe dampening, they will become unplayable for hunters and to a less extend warlocks. That would lead to massive disadvantages to hunters both in PVE and to some extend in PVP. I didn't think about PVE, but in PVP it must be compensated by adding dampening to pets and sharing resilience from the player. This would maybe lead to pets becoming too OP in the early phases, so some other small balancing fixes here and there will be required

I’m not sure that the damage dealt by a pet to a player is subject to a -15% physical reduction. The critical hit Kill command 1500 damage made me doubt it. There’s no need to tell us here about what will happen later. I was willing to tolerate BM hunters up to level 60. But a hunter just boldly sends a pet that eats a warlock in 18 seconds. On the battlefield, no one hits them; they have 5,000 HP and deal damage like an average warrior with a two‑handed weapon, but with a speed of 2.00. They simply destroy casters. They have frequent resistances to magic and take minimal damage from aoe.

This comment just shows you have not played hunter in PvE.

Pets will fall off later on. Ask the devs to modify the dampening now instead of complaining over something that has existed in WoW since its first expansion in 2007.
Stop making shit up, pets were never immune to AoE in vanilla and they absolutely have no reason to be here.

I am sure that pets should not receive any defensive bonuses in PvP, as they are not an independent combat unit. They complement the player under whose control they are, and the player should think about how to manage the pet so as not to lose it in battle. At present, there are ways to do this, and they existed before the launch of TW.
