What are caster pets?
Some beasts are considered by the game to be casters, which like their humanoid counterparts use mana. Once these pets are tamed, they do not completely revert to their family stats, but instead maintain high int and spirit, and lower hp, armor, and dps. But int and spirit are useless stats for a pet. More info can be found here. Recently, the tooltip on caster pets found that int increased spell critical strike chance by 5%. Should this prove to be true, it could be a nice boost to hunters with the beast master’s talent ferocious inspiration. Though there are many abilities that cannot crit at all. For now, I recommend avoiding taming one.
