Pet Skill Use Priority

At the moment the Pet Skills are a real Mess , it used to be Growl had Priority over all other skills but now it seems very random which will start off with the pets attack.
They decided the boars had a bug in their attack and were gaining far to much aggro , since then they have been trying to fix things but still all the pets have the bug of random casting , it used to be Growl was always first it has a 5 second cool-down then Bite with a 10 second cool-down and then claw which has no cool-down so the priority was the cool down skills and any instant cool down skill used any remaining focus, The growl and the cool down Skills always seemed to over ride any instant casts and would trigger as soon as enough focus was generated .
These days i have seen on my cat that sometimes i wait up to 10 seconds for that first Growl to happen but usually there is a Claw and a Bite before the Growl or at least one attack before the growl , I hope they fix it soon as it seems my level 70 hunter suffers the effects worse than my level 25 to 45 Hunters.
Also its a bit of a weird bug they have with the Priorities as some hunters seem to have little or no problem and others complain of getting to know how to melee far to often when the target ignores the Pet.
I am no expert but have been trying to keep up with the news on this latest fault and as far as i can tell nobody is exactly sure what is going on as i am guessing over time it still gives roughly the same amount of pet damage but is annoying when i have to watch my damage meter more these days.-My mage
my hunter
My hunter is not the best at damage but at least i survive.I am not entirely sure.
I think it either uses whatever spell you have 1st on the petbar first or it always uses growl first.
You could try digging through Petopia to see if they have an answer, or else ask on TKAsomething.
As there are a lot more people there who have tested just about everything considering hunters – God Emperor of Hunters and Priest Forum Mean Person.

What I mean by this is if you have two or more skills which are off cooldown and on autocast, with enough focus to use only one, which skill will the pet use?
As an example, my Ravager which I just picked up has Bite (10s cd), Growl (5s cd), and Gore (no cd). So assuming it starts from 0 focus, nothing is on cooldown, and it just ticked enough focus to use any of the skills, which will it use? And subsequently, if one of the CD skills are on cooldown, which will it use?
