Well, Vigilance manifests as a +damage buff, the same way a small red would, so yes, it should effect the psuedo pets.|

Don't forget that Defenders don't get Build Up, Defiance, Scourge, etc, so while you might out damage a lot of other Defenders, you may still lag behind your Blaster/Corruptor cousins.

I play heroes on Champion.
I play villains on Virtue.
The way to tell if a damage buff will affect a pseudopet is what the duration of the buff is. Pseudopets don't simply copy over your damage modifier. They copy over all the buffs you have -including- their duration. Let's say you use aim and fulcrum shift then put down blizzard, and to keep it simple let's assume they all go off at the same time
Aim lasts 10 seconds, blizzard lasts for 15, and fulcrum shift lasts 45.
When blizzard gets summoned, it'll inherit aim and fulcrum shift. For the first ten seconds, it'll be getting the damage bonus from both aim and fulcrum shift. After that, aim will wear off and blizzard will only have the damage bonus from fulcrum shift.
Vigilance doesn't have a notable duration. It's constantly rechecking how many people are on your team and replacing its values. I don't know exactly how long its duration is, but I'm willing to bet that vigilance will have no effect on pseudopet powers.

Unless they get clever somehow, I'd bet it works like Fury for a Brute - the buff is very short duration, constantly refreshed, so for a pseudo-pet like Burn, the Fury damage only lasts for a few ticks before it expires from the pseudo-pet. I'd imagine Vigilance 2.0 will work like that for Defender pseudo-pets, affecting maybe the first few ticks, but then expiring very quickly.
