You don't have many tools at level 11.
If it's an anything-goes fight (which I'd assume it is if a
level 15 is fighting a level 11), I would kick in Accel, wait
for him to order his pet to attack me, then quickly drag the
pet out of command range and through a bunch of hostile mobs
(arc your path so you don't go through the mobs but the pet
does).
If you don't want to be quite so dirty, I'd drag the pet away,
run back and attack the mage, drag the pet away again when it
returns, repeat. You can use Warsong and melee to hope to
interrupt his casting, or Accel to try to get out of range
before his spell fires (note that neither consumes mana, so
you'd be relying on fizzles to deplete his mana). And if the
pet roots you...
The key I think is that you can stay out of attack range and
heal indefinitely, while he cannot (gotta run out of bandages
some time).
