A couple days ago, my pet started to attack any target that I started casting on as soon as I started casting when it was set to defensive. This is very rarely what I want when I set my pet to defensive. Usually, this just means that my pet is either going to run into a crowd of mobs or that I'm going to have to micro-manage it by repeatedly putting it on passive.
My suggestion would be to make pets set to defensive work just as they always have in (I think) every version of DAoC. I can see why they were changed, but I think the "auto-attack the target I'm attacking" behavior would be more appropriate for their aggressive stance, not defensive.
