Doh! - found this from one of the guides:
The Dark Servant can be buffed and healed. Recharge: 4 Minutes
Actually, MM Dark Servant has an 8 minute recharge base, lasts 4minutes, but the recharge can be enhanced to be made perma.
Dark Servant is not a controllable minion like your others, it's more like fire imps or singi or other pets of that nature.

I just dinged 38 and finally got DS. I've run a few missions with it, testing out strategies and generally having a blast whipping him out on unsuspecting EBs. MUA HAH HAHA HA!
However, I noticed that I can't command the DS as precisely as my other minions. Also, I don't see where I can check his combat stats in-game like I can with my other pets.
Is this because DS is not a "real" pet? I noticed that the power icon for DS is green, unlike my other maroon pet summons.
If DS is more of a long-term duration power rather than a "true" pet, then will he get any benefit from my AOE buffs like Shadow Fall or Leadership sets? If I throw my pet buffs on him, will it have any effect?
Sorry if these questions have been answered before; I've only briefly searched the forum and did not find the information I'm looking for.
Thanks for your help!
