Actually, since this could be considered as an exploit, make sure to read the sticky on "how to report exploits". Usually, exploits are not reported publicly.
This "exploit" is not new... It's been around for a long while. The only reason people didn't use this was because you would lose Nephalem valor when you changed skills. It's a nice trick but Zombie dogs die pretty easily. I think it could stay the way it is.
What he said ^
Also, what Jamoose said. Report it on the forums, but I don't think they will change/fix that, it's been around for a while now. Don't think it's worth it though.
To add to some of the other comments, I think one of the reasons the devs don't hotfix or patch this out is 1) because it presents a fairly annoying hassle of changing skills just to take advantage of this, and 2) what you're actually getting out of it is fairly minimal. So ultimately, the benefit likely doesn't warrant immediate action.
I mean, if people want to go through the trouble of using the Circle of Life passive to summon three standard zombie dogs (not even special ones like Leeching Beasts or Rabid Dogs), and switching the passive out to keep the dogs, unless they've got other passives to keep those standard dogs alive, they're not going to amount too much, and then they would have to reapply the Circle of Life passive again, kill more mobs, then switch it off again, to "exploit" this.
I want to say it classifies as an exploit, but eh...there's worse out there probably. If they were summoning 20-30 dogs with this, then yeah, massive exploit. But it's only 3. I can let it go, :-)

Yeah... I guess it's an "exploit" but it's a really... really... bad one. Blizzard isn't going to do anything about it unless it gives the player some kind of tangible advantage, and I really don't think this qualifies.

Blizz, we found a major bug yesterday in the WD Skilling. I think you should fix it :-)

We are searching for more ;-) Be aware dear Blues!
