Question about companions in IA

I'm a tank player, so if I cannot find another player to trek through IA with, then sharp is coming in with me. I had a few questions regarding this:

1) When getting your verses and visions, does this equally apply to your companion's damage?
2) OR do companions count as pets w/ verses and visions
3) Have any tank players utilized companions and come up with a build that works well? I know that I could just throw on pillr/deadly/ropo/slimecraw and have at it, but I only enjoy tanking, so i'd prefer to play in my tank playstyle.

Thanks! :)

    I haven't done this from the tank side, but I have used a companion as a tank in IA. The do not count as pets as far as I'm aware but they do get the same verses and visions I think. Within the last few days I noticed my Sharp tank had his own Apocryphal Emissary when I picked it up.

    Not sure about a DPS build for the companion, but when using Sharp as a tank he is never the problem in ending my runs. It's always me that runs us out of threads in and around arc 7. He'll die on certain cycle bosses that have mechanic he can't follow (Lady Thorn, Zha'hass), but not on Tho'at (until the 4th Tho'at and after) or during the trash stages.
