I think gw needs icons for pets/minions under the conditions icons. They could display the # of certain minions you have and the current health of your pet.
The main importance of this is to be able to target your minons/pets easyer.
As a necromancer I use bone minions - death nova - taste of death. After I create them its sometimes hard to target and cast death nova on them, If I miss I could end up running straight into a group of enimies. Also im wasteing valuable time while trying to target them. Sometimes im not sure how many minions I have, especially when theres other necromancers around.

Pets are already in your team's health bar so it's not hard to heal and/or target them if you want to.
As for bone minions and other summons like that I think it might be part of the difficulty of running a death necro.
If anet adds icons for all your minions then running a death nova death necro would become trivial. Part of the challenge at the momemnt is putting death nova on them at the right time.
That being said I've never played a necro primary myself so I have no idea what I'm talking about heh. Maybe it's way too difficult to do even now. However, if they make it super easy to manage all the minions I could definitely see people complaning and something getting "tweaked" if you know what I mean.
