Slotting, and maximizing damage buffs for pets.

I have a couple question about a couple of different sets.

First off, for Thugs/time I want to figure out the best spot to toss my Temporal Selection for wading through x8 missions when solo. For tough targets obviously the bruiser is the prime choice, but for wading through big groups of mooks I am not sure if I will get better mileage by tossing it onto the arsonist with his variety of AOE.

Basically, the same considerations for Demon/time. Temporal selection onto the Hellfire LT? Demon prince obviously is a nice bruiser too, but has a lot of control and not much aoe damage.

Demon prince slotting... I seem to recall there being some issues here about endurance reduction slotting. I think it was that the plain pet damage sets don't work well for him because most of his attacks are Slow effects and the regular pet sets don't reduce the end cost on them. Currently at level 33 I have a plain endredux SO in there, and he seems to tank his end pretty fast even with that, do regular endredux so/io work correctly on all his abilities? Any slotting suggestions are welcome here, though I may have to wait a bit as mid level pet IOs seem to be almost nonexistent on the market.

Lich slotting. Uh... kinda lost here. Should I be slotting for damage? Enhancing his controls? I seem to recall there being a proc you can slot in there somewhere (to hit debuff damage proc maybe?) Any suggestions in general are welcome.

I would strongly recommend against buffing your Arsonist over your Bruiser with something like Temporal Selection.

Your tier 1s are -2 levels from you, reducing their effective damage (to 80% if you're fighting even leveled enemies, with an increasing reduction per level your targets are over you). For more detailed information on level scaling, see http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Purple_Patch.

Additionally, your Tier 1 pets have a Ranged damage scale of 0.35, versus your Tier 3 pet's melee damage scale of 0.65. That means effectively that damage buffs are going to be almost twice as potent on your Tier 3 pet due to its considerably higher base damage values.

Edit:

Regarding Lich slotting, 3x Lysosome 3x Peroxisome will give you ED-capped (~95%) Acc, Damage, Control Duration, and (~55%) -ToHit Debuff
2x Lysosome 1x Nucleolus 2x Peroxisome 1x Cloud Senses Proc will give you ED-capped (~95%) Acc, Damage, 66% Control Duration, 40% -ToHit Debuff, and a damage proc effective in almost all his attacks.

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

How do you guys slot the Dire Wolf (using SOs or vanilla IOs?)

Yeah the reason I ask is because there is a bug:

Both, and it isn't boosting damage correctly either - should be in the 90s.

Yeah something is definitely broken. Synapse told me to /bug it when I asked.
