As most already know, at L70 when you have a flying mount your pet cannot follow you around all the time and this will make the pet disappear. Since a few patches we now get a SS back when a pet disappears but this will not help us yet at L70. In World PvP people fly over and see you fighting. They fly lower, dismount and attack you. Some can even charge you while in mid-air (warrior and druids). However, a warlock cannot do this. Of course he can dismount and attack you, but he will miss his pet and as most will know, a pet is still crucial for a warlock. Now we can either spend 10 seconds and 1000+ mana to summon a new pet, but then it's hardly a surprice attack, isn't it ?
We also do not want to get the "call pet" ability that the has, as we are not hunters. Now I thought of this idea:

- When a pet disappears for any reason (taking a flight path, pet get behind, etc..) you no longer get a SS refunded.
- Instead you get an "Aladin's Wonderlamp", this is an unique item and you can never have more then one at any given time. For example, if your sucubus disapears, you get an "Aladin's Wonderlamp - Succubus".
- While you have this item, "Aladin's Wonderlamp" you cannot summon any pet at all, this is greyed out.
- While you have this item, Enslave Demon is also greyed out.
- Warlocks get a new spell:

"Genie in a bottle"
no mana costs, instant cast, requires Aladin's Wonderlamp
"Instantly summons your pet back to you for no mana cost. This spell summons the last pet you had under your control. Requires an "Aladin's Wonderlamp"

What do you think of this new warlock spell ?
PS. Feel free to rename the reagent and the spell to make it more warlock-ish.
