Fixing the mage water pet

[provocating]

I have had several people on my server ask about the Magician water pet not backstabbing. I also play a mage on my server and never had my water pet backstab. I also remember on live the 61+ water pet doing an assassinate on lower level mobs, not sure what that breaking point was, it seemed like level 46 and below mobs but I would have to research. Before I dig into doing this, is there any other mob/pet in the code that does something even fairly close so I am not recreating the wheel?
