Alright, another issue. Sometimes when charm wears off, it.. doesn't. Ever. You lose control of your pet but it continues attacking the mob it was attacking.

I'm not sure what the mobs con in these cases so I'd have to check that too. But I imagine being able to charm a mob forever is a problem, even if it's difficult to replicate.
This has happened to me once or twice but I just recast charm and that does the trick.

I'm not certain but it might be something left over from the faction war bug that used to always occur in the Planes.

My theory:

Your charmed pet is fighting toe to toe with a non-charmed mob.
Charm breaks (while non-charmed mob is mid-swing).
Immediately after charm breaks the non-charmed mob lands it's last hit.
So what should have been the end of agro between the 2 mobs is renewed because your ex-pet just got smacked upside the head by another mob for (in his eyes) no reason. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
This might be what's creating a conflict between the 2 mobs that should otherwise be buddies.

That's the best I can come up with.

The reason why I believe this is what's happening is because when I use a charmed pet I am also agro kiting my target by using snare and 3 dots.

In other words the non-charmed mob is never attacking my pet but rather it is always chasing after me. When I solo in this way the bug you mentioned never happens. The bug only ever seems to happen if the pet and the mob are actively hitting each other before the charm, breaks.
