Do you have any idea how insanely over-powered an 8k pbae melee proc would be? I won't go into details and give examples.

my buddys rog gets 40k procs and twinproc for upwards of 80k and he still manages not to get agro... most the time

Any actual resaons? Or just hyperbole? This is a pet-only buff. Pets don't have weapon affinity, it won't proc a million times a minute if the devs don't want it to.

Additionally, if it procs a lot against non-trivial mobs, the pet will get agro and die. If it's grey-trash, who cares? Where does it become overpowered?

Well the whole "who cares" thing is out of the question as a defense. Who cared about pet pulling, DC pulling, or any of the other myriad of things that have been nerfed/fixed over the years? The first time somebody loaded the spell up and sent Bob on a rampage through an expansion or two old raid content it would be over powered in numerous non-pet class eyes. As far as non-trivial content goes PCs always have aggro over pets when they are within melee range. The devs would have to totally rework code to change that and I don't think that is going to happen.
