This really has little to do with whether it's possible - it has to do with being a D and the PNP. It's sad but true that every bard I see swarming lately doesn't just pull 10 or 20 mobs - no he pulls an entire zone area clean. And it doesn't matter if it's Dreadlands, CB, OT, LOIO, EK, BW, SF, or anywhere else - I NEVER see a fair pull that leaves some behind unless I complain.
I actually got a good result once by sending a tell "hey I know you're swarming and that's what your class does, but someone not as nice as me might petition you for taking the entire area. I've been sitting here leveling and you have now left me to wait for full repop. It is against the play nice policy just so you know, and you can get in trouble for not sharing mobs".
The bard apologized and offered to share some swarm xp. I didn't take him up on it, but he pulled significantly less mobs the next time and I went on my merry way. I think it just takes some nuance in dealing with these guys. They aren't all asses but there sure are some out there, and usually (I don't blame anyone) people react pissed when it first happens to them.
