The Mesmer, in my opinion, has always worked more efficiently in a group. Someone stands in the front line and takes the beating while the Mesmer goes unnoticed in the background handing out punishment. Heroes and Ranger Pets worked really well to this end in Guild Wars but since "second professions" and heroes are being done away with Guild Wars 2... My suggestion is that the Mesmer be able to use Pets as their own, "Charm Animal" already sounds like a Mesmer ability. The main difference between Mesmer Pets and Ranger Pets is the level of control you have over it. Where the Ranger has specific skills to aid their pets the Mesmer's pets function almost entirely autonomously. Besides the basics the only aid or control you would have over it is being able to raise it if its Downed, plus what ever support skills that can be cast on other players or NPCs. After all the main purpose of the Mesmer Pet is to shield you and occupy your enemies so you can trounce them unnoticed.
Another way this could be done is a skill that allows the Mesmer to temporarily Dominate, an enemy Necromancer's minion or a Ranger’s pet, into working for the Mesmer. A stronger version of this skill would temporally Dominate a monster in to your service.
