Pet Levelling

After doing a bit more research on the best way to play as a survival hunter, I've re-tuned my rotation and re-specced a couple of my talent points.

Mainly to weave Serpent Sting back into the mix, which now gives me an overall 3% damage increase thanks to 'Noxious Stings'.

I also checked out the rumors about Wolves being the pet of choice for Survival Hunters, and it seems to be correct, if only slightly.

So I set off to pick up a new wolf from the Hellfire Ramparts, and after dying only 3 times, due to having to go with no pet, and being absolute sh*te at melee. I finally grabbed my new mutt. Which instantly began chewing the face off anything nearby. Nice.

I Haven't picked a name for him yet.

The problem now lies in levelling him up. My first lvl 80 pet was my cat, which obviously levelled up with me. My second was a Gorilla which was great for multi-mob grinding, and didn't take too long. But this one has got to make up a whole 5 levels solo'ing mobs one at a time. (It's either that or they'll all come and hit me instead).

I hate grinding, anyone got any better ideas?
