Why would anyone bother? Even with good gear, companions die in 2 seconds to easiest mobs and it takes them 5+ minutes to kill one mob, while the PC can wipe 20+ of them in a few seconds.
They're nice for providing commentary though. Reminds me of the Augur 😊
I want to dispute this a bit. I set my Bastian up as a tank and have been testing him in Public dungeons, and Craglorn delves and dailies. He has never died while tanking public dungeon mobs or bosses. He only died once to a crag delve boss, and he dies every time on the last bosses of the School of Warriors, Elinhir, spellscar, and Skyreach Catacombs, but he lives through the fights up to that point.
He does decent at keeping taunt up and controlling mobs with talons, and his interrupt game is on point. He does need recalled (Right-click +Y) to get out of the red, but all in all he’s better than many pug tanks. After all the bashing on the forums I was expecting him to get one-shot all the time and it’s simply not true.

To what mobs are you referring?
I've been doing normal dungeons, public dungeons, quests, world bosses, quests and dolmens with Bastion and he died only one time, back when he was in all white gear and super low-level. He hasn't died since -- I don't heal him. Moreover, in doing overland content Bastion kills trash mobs in about five seconds. I must be doing something wrong as to not get your results.

I read loads of books with Bastian accompanying me and only noticed a rapport increase once.

I discovered another really good one for Bastian quite by accident - I happened across one of the old world "Lightbringer" achievements (where you come across two people who can't light a fire. You light the fire, you get xp), completed it and BOOM, a hefty chunk of rapport for Bastian (I want to say it was 185??). I'd be willing to bet another of the world achievements, where you can give money to the NPC in need (can't remember the name, sorry) would also give the rapport. And I bet if you did the Crime Pays, you'd get negative rapport from him, since that one involves essentially mugging a passing merchant to take their money.

Maybe this only works for some of the seven quests, but not for each of them. It still needs testing.

Probably. I got the rapport for the first two days but not the next two. Unsure if you are only allowed to do it twice? Anyone get rapport more than two times on the Ashlander quests?

For Mirri, the Ashlander relic daily shares the same cooldown as the Fighter Guild dolmen daily for YOU. In other words, let's say you do YOUR Fighter Guild dolmen daily (the one the quest giver provides to YOU directly) and get the +125 bump, if you subsequently do the Ashlander relic quest that YOU receive from the quest giver, you won't get a 2nd +125 rapport bump.
That said, if you get a SHARED, DIFFERENT dolmen/relic quest, you will get +125 from those. So you're able to do multiple dolmen AND relic quests dailies each day, with each giving +125. The cooldown only applies to the ones YOU receive each day.
On a tangential but related note, has anyone found a comparable "second" +125 quest for Bastian (in addition to the Mage Guild daily)?
Not in my experience.
This might be an unintended glitch but the times where I have handed over the ashlander quest first I have gotten rapport from both. On the same character.
