Since Dark Servant can't be slotted for damage, they can't be slotted for any of the pet sets. Working as intended.
But it does say that it's supposed to take Recharge Intensive Pets, right? Please tell me that I'm not imagining that. I checked six times.

The only problem with defeating the Tsoo is that an hour later, you want to defeat them again!

You're not imaging things. I just checked it myself. Honestly, I'm surprised it says that. I seem to remember one of the devs saying something to the effect that the Dark Servant wasn't intended to be an offensive-focus pet (not sure about this) and that was why DS couldn't take the other pet sets.
So, it looks like there is a bug at work, either with the power description or with it not allowing the set to be slotted.
You're not crazy.
I'm bugging it. What annoys me is that I trashed a level 40 common accuracy IO that was in there, bought the Acc/Dam, and bought the salvage for it. I figured I didn't need as much accuracy as it had, so why not trade off a little of the accuracy for damage?
I read other threads about fluffy. Some people have said that if you put in an IO from a set, it only affects the power that would normally take that set. For example.... an accuracy/hold/recharge IO from Neuronic Shutdown would only affect the accuracy and hold for Petrifying Gaze.
But when I expand the power descriptions for the Dark Servant's powers in the Info window, it shows all of the powers benefiting from that extra accuracy. So now I'm a bit confused as to how I should be slotting it. I think I may just drop an accuracy back into it and be done with it.

Just to check, you know that you don't need to trash the old enhancement separately? You can just drop the new one on top of the old one and it'll replace it. Normally not an issue, but it'd have saved you that accuracy IO in this scenario.
As for the bit about set IOs only enhancing powers of the same type, not 100% sure but I think that was specific to the recharge aspect - the recharge wasn't really meant to cascade down to pets' actual powers (hence a straight up normal Recharge enhancement would only affect the recharge of the pet summon, not its powers), but if it was a set IO then the recharge would buggily cascade down to attacks that would otherwise accept that set type. But stuff like accuracy which *is* intended to cascade to the pets' powers, that should enhance all the pets powers regardless of what kind of set it came from. I think. Maybe.
Also procs still work that way - a Lady Grey damage proc slotted in a pet will only have a chance to trigger on the pet's powers that are set to accept defense debuff sets (which is why it's great for Soldiers, but not so much for Commando).

Well, when I went to slot the one IO and grabbed it, none of the slots would highlight as being available. I thought that maybe it's because it couldn't be combined with any of the ones in there so I trashed the existing IO.

I quintuple-checked, and Chazz checked too. When you hover over the Dark Servant power in the management screen, it says in the description that it accepts IOs from several different sets, and Recharge Intensive Pets is listed.

I discovered this a few days ago. What is frustrating is that Fluffy SHOULD accept the Accurate ToHitDebuff sets, and it won't.
Fluffy needs some serious looking at in terms of the sets it accepts.

I concur with all that has been said here. I have been trying to slot fluffy with pet IOs to no avail. Lame.
I have an Expedient Reinforcement: Acc/Dam I want to slot into fluffy. It says it takes Recharge Intensive Pets sets, and I deleted a common IO that was in there to make room for it, but it won't let me place it. Is there a bug?
