I'm not big on the strafe kiting method, though I got it to work at level 2. I like twisting the DoT song plus selo's with autorun. Make tight circles by tapping the turn direction quickly while autorunning. You can tighten up a bit when the DoT song is about to go down so you're close enough to hit them, then loosen the circle afterwards so you're less likely to get hit.
Your goal should be to never ever take damage in a kite, because if you learn how to kite by taking hits then you'll be completely unable to handle mass kites without dying.
Also, kiting does get easier at level 18 since the DoT has a slightly higher range, so if it's really frustrating you, maybe wait until then to do so. Another factor might be lag; I didn't find kiting all that difficult after a few tries, but with the way some people complain about it I wonder if they just have slightly higher latency that makes it nigh-impossible.
