Sirs,
Correct, i made this not solely for PvP purposes, but for normal purposes, okay, about the Carrion Ring, i would suggest using it only at level 70, while you stockpile your skill points from level 70 to 91. Once there, remove the ring, dump everything into the poison creeper.
I have tried this, and many a times, having a bear, is really no different than not having a bear, your poison will seriously, and i'm really serious about this !!! Kill most of the units off really quick....
Somebody, anyone, listen to that statement !!! Please....
Boo hoo...
Haha, anyways, would like to emphasize, trust me, your bear will not change the game play much surely he has a truck load of life but his damage is nothing shocking, so most of the time, the poison will kill mobs up before they can damage your mercenary..I'm really not joking.
Also, yeah, no damage reduction, that's because your mercenary is doing the tanking, not you
You'll be fine,t rust me, with 5.6k of life, who wouldnt be ?
Because of that, i still strongly stick to the fact that...the +skills rings are better, so much more life... but ultimately...
*Sighs*
Your call.

Do have a nice day.
Edit:
Okay, i went to check the poison creeper glitch, teh damage was
60-61k
With the Bulkhatos rings, i had
61k-63k
So, there is your damage difference, it may not seem like much to you, but for poison effects, the greater the poison, the more damage per second, which is vital, seriously.
Also, let me explain why the Poison creeper is important for early on levels, to make leveling easier, if you do not have a rush party, it'll take you up to level 60 before you can use the Carrion Ring.
Without a carrion ring, i only did 13k-14k with all that equipment, however, the Poison Creeper is the heart of the damage, so it's vital to get it early on, especially when you can't afford a Plague Bearer,
Lastly, kindly take note that these are just my opinions, i speak with the voice of practicality of reaching the ultimate power of the build, nothing more, nothing less.
Do have a nice day.
