Once I had charmed the 2nd pet and sent it into the swarm I had to run very far away for all the mobs to turn on pet, I have no idea why but distance had something to do with how the aggro mechanics worked. By far away I mean to the point where I could no longer see any of the mobs, and I know it worked because my pets hp bar would nose dive.

distance somehow plays a roll in aggro, maybe at some point the mobs switch who's 1st on their hate list?
The way you got around this problem was making sure that your next charm pet was the npc that your original pet was attacking. And continue this trend until all the mobs in the swarm are dead.
