Description

A val'kyr's only purpose is to serve, and this one serves you. I am now giving you full control over her abilities, <name>.

Roaming around the farm's outskirts, you should find several of the Forsaken that you just created. I want you to use your val'kyr to gather at least five of them. Once you have done so, take your newly-formed band of soldiers, bring them into Felstone's barn, and kill the beast inside. Today, they will learn what it means to fight for the Dark Lady.

How exactly does one 'use' the Valkyr.

Standard Blizz UI, I dont have a pet tab. Also, in my Spellbook->pet tab, there are only really commands, and no abilities as such.....

Would love some help.

Edit:
Spoke to some guildmates, and they helped me sort it.

The pet bar was bugged...
/reload fixed it.
Ctrl+4 was the command I was after.
