I sent this question into the Grab Bag, but I haven't seen it answered yet, so I'm asking it here.
A while back, I seem to remember hearing that for each point in your primary pet line, your pet gained 10hp (so Spirit Animation for Cabalists, Spirit Enhancement for Spiritmasters, and Enchantment Mastery for Enchanters). I never have actually found out if this truly is the case.
Can someone confirm or deny this for me, hopefully with some official documentation? I've searched through the patch notes and have not been able to find it there either.
Thanks. (I'm posting this on all three boards hoping to find someone who knows.)

I typed up an answer for this last week but something went wierd with the board when I tried to post it. Thought I retyped it already but it seems not. So here we go.
That's one of the oldest rumors among cabalist players. The basis for the idea is that the pet reclaim gives back 10% of your pet's health as power, and you get more power returned with higher spirit spec. It's 1 point of power for every additional level of spirit spec. Therefore, the logic goes, higher spirit spec gives your pet more health at a rate of 10 points per level. It was particularly obvious in the days before +all focus staves and +all magic items when switching out items did make a noticable difference.
As far as I know, however, the extra power is a function of the overspec bonus as it applies to the reclaim spell. The power returned to a cabalist with 50 modified spirit spec is 1.25x the amount that is returned to a cabalist with only the bare minimum 3 spirit spec, and you actually reach the return cap a little bit before 50 modified spirit. So no, it's not true.
Edited - typo and a little clarification of one point

Baseline, no buffs, he is correct.. You get more power return due to the spec nature of the spell.
Now RvR/PvE, your pet is much, much better due to the buffs in the spirit line
Also, be sure you recycle using your amber pet and wait for it to self buff. it returns more power for you.
I am a full spirit cabby and 3 ambers is a full power bar for me at 50th and 5L7
