Ferocity is for DPS. Tenacity is for tanking. Cunning is for PvP.

Any ability issues are usually details and opinions. Noone will fire you for using any pet that you want, so long as you know what you're doing (and if they do then they're wrong). And I might add, reading other threads in this topic wouldn't hurt, most of them cover this info.

Uh, I don't want to go out and say this is false, so I'll ask what you're going to back that up with?

Crabs (untalented): Possibly
Turtles : No

All pets are normalized nowadays, and untalented pets DPS depends wholly on their special skill. That counts out turtles, since theyr skill reduces incoming damage. Talented pets however can only be Ferocity or Cunning pets, Tenacity doesn't really have any DPS talents. But I'd probably put Windserpents, Cats, Wolves, Devilsaurs, Spirit beasts (any ferocity pet really.)...

But just go with what you like, most pets do good damage, and they're usually not so much DPS anyway (Except for BM Hunters, of course. But who wants to play BM? :looksaround: )

Have a look at Rawr (http://www.codeplex.com/Rawr). It'll allow you to load in your armory character into it, and you can change various values and see how it may effect your DPS.

Change a pet class, different talents, gear, enchants/gems etc..

Currently the highest damage pets for mini-maxing would be:
Marks/Survival : Wolf
BM: 1. Devilsaur (in a raid setting), 2. Wolf (if no one knows how to buff), 3. Spirit Beast (can be higher than a wolf or on par with the Devilsaur depending on gear)

Hope this helped. You might want to hit up the Hunter forums at MMO-Champion for more info. Just be forewarned they can get a bit snippy if you don't try to look up info before hand...
