Disagree, sharing mana is a skill-specific healers and has nothing to do with summoner, it's correct what they did with skill
Mana Sharing with Brilliant Recharged solved a lot of problems with PuG's that would do instances and grind. Most randoms are casuals that don't know how to manage their MP correctly and end up making the Healer do more work than required with recharging. Yes, it's the healer's job to mana battery, but for her to micro that on one spam happy member and managing the party's health it can get a bit tedious.
Bring back the old Mana Sharing and add a new skill called: Servitor Balance Life.

Servitor Balance life already exists.
Healers restore more MP now than before when summoners recharged mana.
I'd rather heal my summons without targeting them than to recharge the party's MP.
yeah mana share made my life (as a healer) alot easier when it still recharged pt's mp and there was one in pt.
with the current one... wyns still dont bother to heal their pets and qq when it dies
Just Servitor Balance Life when the pets get low. The healer will usually react with a group heal. Sometimes after you cast Mass Servitor Cure, the MOB will almost instantly reapply the bleed so there is not much you can do about it. It's not a weak DoT :-P
But there is opportunity to throw in some heals here and there. I don't really see many summoners complaining about that. I think most complains I seen were on the pre-nerf Zellaka at low levels when his AoE could take almost 1/3 of some pets' HP bar and he used it a lot.
