Which AA line for the dog are you talking about? STR? That's valuable for soloing and for raids. The ward proc goes off enough to get the pet on the heal parse every now and then, and the ae avoid will keep him alive through most fights. It's also incredibly useful for soloing. Combined with Spiritual Circle and Bane of Protection I've solo'd 67^^^ named without having to cast any more wards after a group and single target ward before the pull.
