I myself would like to see the numbers on resist or heal enhancements in the tier 2 demon. I do know that he does heal rather frequently.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
I'm not sure on the heal numbers, but I find the heal itself to be quite a bit more powerful then the shield numbers. The Ember Shield gives a really small amount of resistance that probably wouldn't scale well with slotting.
Slotting end in the summoning powers only lowers the amount it costs to use summon the demons.. It won't effect how much end the demons use to use their powers.
YES slotting end reduction in the summons helps the pets use less end
I think it depends on the secondary, I would slot for heal personally being storm and resist if I were thermal.
I would slot Hell on earth with 3 recharge and leave it alone on a storm and then slot tornado with all 4 pet procs or you could slot all 4 pets procs in Hell on Earth and then slot Tornado however you choose.
This is just a personal preference, but I would drop O2 Boost and pick up aid other and aid self on /storm.

Hurricane wont work the way you want it. Its defense wont spread to your pets, knock back is rare now, and theres an endurance drain. Snow storm is highly highly underated.
Its AOE slows all minions and -recharges.

Hurricane works great, IME. The to-hit debuff is not as large as when a defender or controller uses it of course, but it is still very large. Being able to push the front part of a spawn back into the rest of the group and drop FR on all of them is very nice.|

I do like Snow Storm as well and plan to pick it up at level 30. I am also considering Combat Jumping there instead, however.
How are the APPs? Are the AoE immobs worthwhile?
Is the fighting pool overkill or could it come in handy in the higher levels?
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.

I am planning on running my DS/Storm a fair bit over the next few days. I have a few questions.
Does slotting end reduction in the summons help the pets use less end?
Is it worth putting a resist or heal into the tier 2 pets?
Is it worth slotting Hell on Earth for damage later, or is just recharge the way to go?
