[WARLOCK] Hellfire + Soul Link Should Put Pet in Combat

[haephaistoss]

Description: Currently hellfire dmg transfer to Pet doesn't cause combat. If a target receives split dmg, it should get in combat for 5 seconds at the moment of dmg 'arriving'. The bug in hellfire's case is that it caused combat only to the pet - because the dmg came from a friendly source.

How to reproduce: Cast hellfire while having SL on you (and consequently on your pet too)

How it should work: Hellfire dmg via Soul Link to pet should cause in combat state on the pet, and buffing the now in combat pet should put other players in combat. It was a well known bug and ppl exploited it left and right against rogues in tbc and wotlk (I quit the game with Cata, so I don't know if it was ever fixed). This currently doesn't happen.

Also side note:

Buffing the pet while in this combat state restarted combat state for both buffer and pet, buffing the pet every 4-5 seconds allows players to keep themselves (and the pet) in combat indefinetely.

In fact all transferred or split dmg should cause combat as if the receiver of the split dmg had been hit by an enemy. Same applies to split dmg splitting further via DS or HoSac.

Note that paladin + warlock teams usually abused this using sac on pet then hellfire thus putting both pet and paladin in combat, so warlock had to buff or be buffed to be in combat from that point onward.

The get in combat part works, the infinite combat restart with buffing doesn't - as of rn on the PTR
