feel free to play with this and verify for yourself.
but it does seem to me right now that pet skills only need to be on the pet bar if you want to trigger them manually and/or monitor their cooldowns.
edit: looks like cower is bugged... i can't seem to turn it off right now. it fires (i.e. displays a cooldown) whether it is on the pet bar or not, it fires whether it is enabled in the pet's spellbook or not. and indeed, the pets do not hold aggro like they used to.
in fact, growl and cower are firing simultaneously, with the same cooldown. pretty bizarre.
doesn't seem to be any way around it.
in contrast, Bite/Dash/etc do seem configurable (turn them off in the pet spellbook and no buff appears on the pet, no cooldown is displayed, nothing shows up in SCT, etc).

Been looking to see if anyone else was experiencing weird things with the pet spells. I can't turn off prowl, which is such a pain in the ass. I only use it in BG's and in caves (for jumping off ledges... pets don't always like to follow). It stays off if I have it on the pet bar, but refuses to stay off if it's not on the pet bar.
And yes, I've noticed Cower firing off in the spell book. I saw the cooldown timer on it while I was trying to watch for Prowl turning itself on.
As for my pets keeping aggro, it's no where near as bad as it use to be. I have two different hunters and both pets are doing fairly good at holding aggro for me.
