You're better off as 0/21/40 then downgrading to 0/40/21

"I feel the stam buff from imp (no one else will have one out), along with soul-link"

Soul-linking an Imp? Well you won't have that stam buff for long. Not to mention you'll get grouped with the tanks because you have your imp out, making it impossible for you to get SP group attention, or Boomkin, Shaman bonuses. Result? Potential awesome buffs no longer available.

"lower threat"

Just cast less SoCs. On boss fights if you pull aggro on a tank from a guild that has this area on farm, well, then the tank has some issues. Cause your specs won't reach that threshold that easily.

"using the felpup to increase my shadow resistance on boss fights that benefit from it"

There's a reason people craft SR gear for Mother Shahraz. Once you have the HoDs, it is assumed to be focused on. Get the gear, don't bother with the pet resistance bonus and hurt your performance on every other boss.

"Not only will I survive more but my total damage will be higher from being alive longer."

You're new to Hyjal and you're in a guild that has done this area many times. Chances of you getting owned are very slim unless you do something radically out of place. Survival is not really an issue. You will get healed from small damage you take. Your targets are well tanked. This point is irrelevant.
