Hard to find the answer in the Tallstrider's dust cloud

I've been pondering over this pet and its ability for quite some time but unfortunately this is the best answer I've come across
Tallstrider
. Tallstrider's special ability,
Dust Cloud
, is special indeed. It's been
confirmed to work on raid bosses
,
but the theory of it working on all raid bosses has neither been confirmed nor denied
. It has its uses in both PvP and PvE.
While it states it's been confirmed to work on some bosses it immediately goes to say it's not confirmed or denied to work on a large number of bosses
If anyone runs/plays around with a Tallstrider in raids or on outdoor bosses please add your input here on what boss and whether your Tallstrider's dust cloud effects said boss
I'm sure tanks everywhere will appreciate the potential your pet could bring in negating a boss' heavy hitter if timed right (Fusion Punch for instance), just need to find out what bosses it works on.

In a PvE situation though, is missing 1 attack every 40 seconds, roughly 7-10 per boss fight really going to make that much of a difference? That is unless if can actually work on the big abilities such as Impale, etc...If so, it may have it's uses, but still...
As for PvP, I'm not saying anything since I'm not a PvPer.

yes, the general idea is that it is potentially useful for the big hitting attacks and if so more hunters may start using it meaning multiple tallstriders per raid meaning many more dust clouds per fight...
which would greatly reduce tank damage making their lives easier and maybe even saving some oh ^&*! buttons for more oh ^&*! moments and saving the healers more mana which could in turn save a dps/healer/tank from dying
it's an aoe ability as well so it's useful on trash despite how unnecessary it may be for that
the point in this thread is to find out what bosses it works on and if so what abilities in particular as well
as BM is the bottom of the food chain for pve lately pet damage isn't all that significant and ~5% of the pet's damage could be sacrificed for superior raid utility

Lol, I can just imagine a raid with like 7 hunter, all with tallstriders. They activate the ability one by one to make sure none overlap, then turn it on autocast (which i assume is available to this spell). Sure, damage that the hunter does would be lower, but it would also lend great survivability to the tank. It'd be fun to know.
