I use voidwalker in instances all the damn time. One would usually see me with that, or felguard when needed. I have never had any consistent problem with that. And, usually, no one else does either-- so you really can not just other players. If fact, I have been asked not to use felguard many times, because my group wanted a minion that was made to take more hits than to deal them.
I usually don't use a VW in instances, and I don't have a Felguard either. Mostly, I use an Imp, with occasional use of Felhound, Succubus, or Enslaved Demon. Once in a while, and only if I'm asked to, I'll bring out my VW - but that wouldn't be my choice. In those instances, I defer to the raid leader's choice. For me, the VW has all of the vices of a hunter's pet, and very few of the good things.
On the other hand, when outside farming or questing, the VW is my pet of choice.

But surely ANYONE level 60+ is gonna out-aggro a VW, including yourself, with just a few hits/spells?
That's my experience anyway. I've tried using him now I'm Aff, but two ticks of CoA or Corr and he's lost aggro and essentially useless.

You have to give the VW time to grab the aggro, and learn a bit of aggro control to use a VW effectively. My VW holds aggro fine even with 4 DoTs on a mob. Again, I'm talking about using him for farming/questing - not instances.
