I wouldn't slot the pets for heal, they're too unpredictable in using it.
I put the purple buildup proc in Grave Knights, they're your damage dealers. Of course that's not a cheap item anymore 
.
Lich likes Hami-Os, so you can enhance both immob and holds.

Not sure if I have ideal slotting but it seems to be working out well. The MM ATO is pretty decent in Soul Extraction but typically crappy in other pets. All pets including soul extracted has no endurance problems, in fact probably too much end as their blue bar just bounces between 90-100%. |

I did not slot any heal or control IOs in the Lich. With the DM secondary it felt redundant as he would be spitting out the same controls as Dark Servant and myself. Also since Lich attacks are all range, he is rarely the target of attacks and the base heal to Life Drain is good enough. Thanks to the devs for not giving him brawl.
I try not to keep Soul Extraction as just an IO aura mule, their damage is decent and worth enhancing. Spread the auras out among all pets and you can still get enough acc, dam, end redux, procs to make them formidable.
I did some proc testing when players mentioned defense debuff procs did not trigger often in Grave Knights. It is less than what I expected but it was still enough I put it in. Ran around RWZ fighting lower level groups with just the Lich and Grave Knights. On average, the Lich with Cloud Senses proc'd about 11 times per group. Grave Knights with Touch of Lady Grey proc'd around 8 times, split between 2 pets, per group. So it was considerably less. I did not keep track of Achilles Heel but it should be procing the same as ToLG. No other damage proc is worth the slot as too few of the pet's powers has a chance to trigger them.
