I'm confused on how lazy aggro would affect bard kiting like you've stated in your post. If I've read your posts correctly, the mobs reset if you get too far away?
A bard doesn't really ever need to get far away from the mobs when pulling mobs.

People think lazy aggro was quite large but it wasn't, they only think that because they were running and the mob they were trying to zone from was also running, they were probably using J-Boots which is not significantly faster than mobs. If they had rooted the mob so it wasn't running then run from it they would have found it didn't aggro back onto them very far from where they rooted it.
Now bards typically going to go out and grab a bunch of non-caster mobs because the caster mobs stop and cast and lose aggro, bard keeps kiting and the mob doesn't chase as its out of chase range, mob goes walking back to its spawn area passing hate to all other mobs on the way which then walk around doing the same to other mobs, chain aggro, including other casters that snare root nuke.
Bard comes back around and suddenly has a shit-ton of rooting, nuking, snaring casters he never pulled on him and dies.
On P1999, that' doesn't happen because the casters continue chasing him if he happens to grab one accidentally.
