Strafing and jumping will get you ahead of the mob if you gain agro when darkness is resisted. Usually, I'll wait until about 5% damage is done by the pet so that it will maintain agro if darkness is resisted. Remember, you can always FD to clear agro if you're in a pickle.
Fear kiting isn't too bad either. Sure it costs extra mana to fear, but you get to meditate while fear is in effect. When agro kiting, you can't unless you have room and time a 1 second sit with the mana ticks. Fear kiting is also superior against casters.
