I just can't do pets... I'd really like to do ranger if there was a legit option that didn't make use of pets. 

I have tried every dps spec in game and I think untamed is the most similar to scrapper in that you are very tanky, you have good sustained ranged damage and good melee lockdown.  It's just better than scrapper at all of those things.   The managing pet is not so bad.   You unleash pet if you're getting focused, otherwise you unleash yourselff for dmg and just spam all the pet skills.  I usually go in and out of unleashed once when doing a ranged burst just to get the ambush.  But it's not hard if you're good at scrapper you will be better at untamed in like a week tops.
