thank god, I hated the training points system set up right now. This talent change should be a lot nicer. Makes pet tactics a little more diverse too.

All pet families now have

Caronte22 — Sat, 08/02/2008 - 20:27

All pet families now have one unique ability. New abilities have been added for families such as bears and sporebats.
Aspects now no longer cost mana.
Avoidance, Dash / Dive and Cobra Reflexes are now pet talents instead of pet skills.
Bite now has no cooldown, does the same damage and costs the same Focus as Claw, so works as a Focus dump.
Clever Traps (Survival) has been renamed "Trap Mastery."
Concussive Barrage (Marksmanship) - Can now proc from Volley attacks.
Deterrence (Survival) - Cooldown reduced to 3 minutes, and
now also increases your chance to resist spells by 60%. Now has a new
spell effect.
Every hunter pet can learn Growl, Cower and either Bite or Claw (never both).
Hunter pets can now learn talents in one of three trees
depending on family. Pets gain talent points starting at level 20 and
earn an extra talent point every 4 levels.
If a hunter tames a pet that is more than five levels
beneath than the hunter's level, then the pet jumps to five levels
beneath than the hunter's level.
Improved Feign Death (Survival): Now also reduces damage taken during Feign Death by 15/30%.
Loyalty, Training Points and the hunter Beast Training button
no longer exist. Hunter pets can now learn all skills at their level.
They will get new ranks automatically as they gain levels.
Master Tactician (Survival) - Chance to proc increased to 10%, up from 6%.
Monster Slaying (Survival) and Humanoid Slaying (Survival) has been combined into "Improved Tracking".
New Talent - Improved Tracking (Survival) - Increases all damage done to targets that are being tracked 1/2/3/4/5%.
Steady Shot now uses ammo. In result, its bonus damage has
been slightly reduced. Players can notice a damage increase based upon
what ammo they use.
Surefooted (Survival) now reduces the duration of movement impairing effects by 10/20/30% (instead of resist % chance).
Trap Mastery (Survival) has been removed.
New Vanity Pet and Mount changes: Players will now be able to access
their non-combat pets and mounts by clicking on the pets tab in the
Character Info panel. These pets and mounts will be now learnable much
like spells or abilities. Once a vanity pet or mount is learned, the
icon will disappear from within a player’s inventory and reappear in
the appropriate tab under the pet tab under Character Info. Say goodbye
to your vanity pets and mounts taking up bag and bank slots!

General Info Pet skills

Caronte22 — Mon, 07/21/2008 - 01:59

General Info

Pet skills are separate from pet talents, in the same
way that hunter skills are seperate from hunter talents. Don't mix them
up!
Pets no longer learn skills the old way. The entire Beast Training system is completely gone, as is Loyalty.
Every pet knows four active skills when it is tamed: Growl, Cower, a physical attack, and a family skill.
There
are three physical attacks (Bite, Claw, and Smack) but they are
identical in every way except name and icon. All three physical attacks
are focus dumps just like Claw is now.
Each family has a completely unique family skill that no other family can get (described below).
Each pet also knows all five resistance skills when it is tamed.
Avoidance,
Cobra Reflexes, Dash & Dive, Great Stamina, and Natural Armor are
now talents instead of skills. They exist in all three talent trees and
are available to all pets.
Charge has also become a talent, but is only available in the Ferocity tree.
Pet skills gain ranks automatically as the pet levels.

So we essentially get an

As for the heart of the phoenix skill, I'm surprised its not a pet talent, rather than a hunter talent.
