I usually run with my wolf, but I have a lion I use for pvp. The lion has prowl, dash, bite and claw trained for maximum damage. Didn't bother to train it with growl; I wanted the other four active talents.
But now, reading opinions that in Heroics and Raids the pet is there purely for damage, I wonder if I should take my lion on those runs. He would not have growl, but it is usually turned off on my wolf anyway. Even if a growl or two would be sufficient to pull a mob off of a squishy, are the relatively rare cases where that is necessary enough to sacrifice the extra damage my lion could do all the time?

In a raid situation, your pet won't be anything but a one-target DoT. So your Lion would indeed be a quite good raidpet, yes. A Wolf however still have that Furious Howl buff, but I've not checked the ranks of that lately, so I honestly don't know if it is viable at all anymore.
But you can't really go wrong with your Lion if you got it specced right (for damage and avoidance).

growl doesn't cost does it?
can't think of any reason you wouldn't teach it to a pet and just turn it off if not desired.

Growl doesn't cost training points, but it does take up one of your four active talent slots.
If, like in my situation, there are four active talents you'd like, growl is expendable in a pet that is never expected to hold aggro.

This may just be me being dumb, but cant you remove growl from the pet bar and put it back later from pet spell book?
