If I understand aggro correctly, if a level 60 bard were to snare these mobs, they should never each touch anyone they roam by...unless the bard dies correct?

From personal experience, I've never seen a green mob in Overthere that I touched aggro another mob. Only I can aggro mobs by standing on top of them (sarnaks/tigers/rhinos) or intentionally hitting/snaring them...they never socially aggro each other if I run them through each other if they are all green to me. Therefore, I don't think there is a problem with high level bards accidentally stealing mobs. If mobs were stolen, it was usually intentional or by low-hp aggro, which I will touch on below.

To my first question, I've been under the impression that as long as the bard pulls a mob by aggroing it with damage/snare, it shouldn't attack other people it runs by. Has the recent patch changed how aggro works?

Furthermore, bards should probably just not run mobs through people. There is no reason a bard should ever have to run a train by the zone lines or zone walls. Heck, even bards running mobs through other bards' mobs drives people crazy because if any bard goes low hp due to getting hit or low-hp kiting, the aggro in the zone gets all funky and mobs all run at the low hp bard if he ran through others' mobs earlier.

Bards need to pay better attention if they see people, and people should watch out if they see bards. However, this takes diligence by both sides. However, bards probably have the greater power due to speed, so just don't run over people. It's really not that hard to control a train of mobs as a bard.

Ahhhh! Zander you have solved an aggro mystery for me I think. On seafury island I have noticed that during charm kiting BOTH my pet and the mob it is fighting (when charm breaks) will sometimes start running away from me toward somewhere else. Then, after I chase them down, they will return. I'm guessing it's low HP aggro from someone else on the island who has passed through my pet/mob's aggro range at some point? Is low HP aggro really that broken?
