Wd/W can be a dps class. Plate reduces your patk by a hefty amount compared to using Chain, and your high damage skills have aggro multipliers on them. The problem with pets is that they suck, not because they don't do enough or take enough damage, but because their pathing is awful and their timing is delayed at best. Also their is missing functionality in the pet, like giving an ISS to Wardens that makes the pet immune to helpless when no skills actually use the helpless state.
