No need to be confused.

1/3 mage specs (might) have a pet, and
1/3 DK specs have a pet.

That's one specific pet. DKs pet has some utility while it doesn't look like mages' will. Obviously both of those are a far cry from the pets that warlocks bring to the table. While I'd like to see warlocks have more use from their pets (and I wish Blizzard didn't try to make it 1 spec = 1 pet), I don't feel that DKs and mages will infringe on warlock/hunter pet territory.

When Blizzard suggested they want warlocks to be different from mages, they weren't necessarily talking about pets. They were, however, talking about things like making curses more central to warlock gameplay and making shards a unique feature rather than a "balance check." That's happening in Cataclysm.

That said, yeah, a permanent elemental might not be the most elegant solution but if I can raid as frost, I'm gonna take it.
