So I feel like they need to update the pet skills to useful stuff. Some pets are really useful with their abilities, however, others are very lacking. What I mean is, that Tenacity Pets do not all have specials skills that make me say: YaY Tanking Pet!
What do you guys think? Are pet skills a bit of a phoned in job? Any favorite abilities? Do you think that Moths actually have hair that covers their bodies, or is it just polymerized dust? Should kittens get a bonus to cuteness?

Personally I use Ferocity pets and they seem to tank pretty well. That being said, I don't play a Hunter very much.
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. ~River Tam

They just did a major overhaul of pet skills and talents in 4.0.1 before Cata. Now a hunter can bring just about any raid buff or debuff making pet utility a huge asset to hunters. Pet skills are more useful than they ever really were. Now they don't all just have x ability doing y damage.
What tenacity pets don't have tanking abilities?

I guess I don't see a crabs pin ability as a tanking ability, while I do see the Turtle's shell ability to be great for tanking. The Boar's Gore ability, while neat is also not what I would call a tanking ability. Croc's have ankle snap, and I am not sure when I would use that. All in all I think they did a good job upgrading the pets, but I would like to see them make all of the abilities a bit more useful. Then again, I have not played a hunter since Burning Crusade, so it may just be that I am not aware of all the great things they updated. You know the uninformed chap that doesn't see the big difference in what was yesteryear...
Also... uhm... I was sort of just trying to get a silly thread going.

That's because Pin is a kiting/PvP ability.
Different pets in the three trees are viable for other things than the exclusive purpose of the tree.
For example, I prefer a crab for BG and world PvP primarily because of Intervene. Charging a player you're kiting, Pinning them, then using an Intervene is pretty sweet.
Yeah, I totally feel like a fool. That is a really good point. I never think of PVP. I assumed that you would only ever use Cunning pets for PVP.
