Bug with Warlock pets

My void walker is randomly targeting invisible mobs and auto attacking them outside of combat. I've relogged, resummoned him a few times, cleared WDB and WTF files, used another installation and neither of those options fixed it.

Also wanted to throw up another bug to the list.

My pets wont use their auto cast abilities while set to passive mode, even when told to attack a target. They will either use them once and then stop, or never use them at all.

I have to set them aggressive or defensive to use abilities =*(

Also, 5/5 Improved Corruption sometimes bugs and you have to stop moving to insta cast or restart your client.

If my void is on def and i cast corruption or affliction he doesn't attack. If i cast immolate he attacks immediately...maybe another bug?

I noticed that torment on the voidwalker if resisted on its first cast wont recast it again.

can confirm some of the issues

Imp's Auto cast fireball only cast once in Passive mode
Void in defensive mode only attacking when I initiate with Immolate - not with corruption / CoAgony

None of these are issues.

Pets in passive ONLY ATTACK when told. You told it to cast fireball once, so it cast it once.

Pets attack in Defensive only when you actually deal damage OR when you are damaged. Corruption and Agony do not do damage on the initial cast but rather once every 3 seconds starting 3 seconds after the cast. Immolate deals initial damage with an additional DoT

Pet behavior is indeed a bit weird, when set to passive but having the spell "activated", the imp should continue to cast fireballs once ordered to attack. Same goes for the torment spell of the voidwalker. (They don't, I experienced the same)

I'm fairly sure I remember the imp only casting fireball once when set to passive and ordered to attack, during retail.
