This video is a good tutorial on one way to do a kite, it was in another bard kiting thread somewhere.
Only thing I do differently, currently 21 doing hounds/griffawns in EK, is that I use selo's w/out a drum. This may or may not work well if you pull stuff with different run speeds (like some cats or rhino's in OT) or later in levels but for now it seems to work just fine.
It only took me a couple tries to get the cutting into the kite strafing thing as explained in the video but it works really well for landing the lv2 dot.
IMHO jboots are a waste of money, people keep talking about missed notes and what not which I think is rubbish. Just play selo's between each dot, they last for 18 seconds each so its not like you can kill faster by spamming them.
ie. selo - dot(18) - selo - dot(2) - selo, etc etc. mix in a hymn of restoration if you get tagged and survive.
