back in the good ole days of live there was 2 types of swarm kiting. charm swarm where you get the mobs to kill your charmed pets 1 at a time, and AE swarm where you run in circles landing the AE dots on the stack.
I used to do the later version. i regularly used to gather 20-30 mobs into a pile and kill them with AE swarm (cougars in iceclad was good for this)
The most i managed was about 50 in one of the gunthak zones. it only worked for me once though as my gear wasn't the best. around 30 was usually my limit.
they nerfed a bards ability to do this later on by making sure mobs that were moving wouldn't take damage from any AE song (can't rememer when that was)
anyway, there is a vid posted by someone on this forum that has tried and succeeded in this method he said he's managed about 15 i think, so it is possible but maybe not in the quantities it used to be possible in. I had heard rumors of some bards doing over 100 mobs via AE swarming on live
