I tamed a black widow in uw with healty form.
I know that she make -12-14% less damage from wiki. Is this so relevant in pvp ora maybe trascurable?

its relevant as far as it has more health and less dmg. but then ull face elder with no health bonus and no dmg increase. btw ur hearty has +60hp for bieng hearty. and dire has the +dmg and -health so its pretty much preference. If u make a pvp char then u will get elder pet if u put charm on ur bar

I run with Heal as one elite so it's preferable a dire right?

The -dmg only affects it's base attacks, all skill damage is unaffected. The difference in damage is fairly minimal whether you are actually running a beast mastery build or just using your pet to suppliment your own damage output.
The +health makes the pet a target less often, leaving it more free to move. Honestly I don't think it actually makes much difference at all whether you have dire, elder or hearty. Way WAY back before we had so many beast mastery skills (enraged lunge in particular) it made more of a difference, but not so much now.

I speak only about pvp so the amount of healt is useless for targetin my pet since there are only human player.
I use only poisonus bite and heal as one as beast mastery skill (spear build).
In any case i went back to uw and this time i cap a dire black widow
