Having a Magician character, I am quite familiar with the pet commands. Did
you try /pet back off ?
It's really the only command that will pull an engaged pet off of a target.
Keep in mind though that if the pet is attacked when it is returning to your
side, it will re-engage. I usually assign this command to a hot key, and
just wail on the key, until the pet is where I want it.
