I'm only level 31 so far but I'd have to say it's pretty boring. The companions thus far are really uninteresting as well. Spacebar has been my best friend thru leveling my sage...

I'll talk from the standpoint of Flashpoints. Your companion is playing a role in the group. I don't see a problem with rolling need for him. However, if it's just dps and another dps in the group could use it, I'd just let him have it. You're in a full group (thus your companion isn't present). Only roll need if no one else in the group doesn't need. There is no exceptions. They are actively participating in the flashpoint, your companion is not. They deserve the loot over your companion. End of story. If you believe otherwise you're simply new to MMO's or just a greedy kid. Enjoy building yourself a bad reputation on your server and never being invited to groups again.
