If you're doing it right, at level 44 you can kill 2 or 3 seafuries in between each ac as well.
No offense intended, but this doesn't sound like good advice. Searfuries are always camped, and leaving your spot at AC is just asking someone else to take your spot. If its worked for you that's great, but this seems to be inviting grief in an already dramatic zone. Adding to that ~40 is extremely low for Seafuries and AC alike.. both these guys have a ton of HP for their level. You'll make better Exp and plat killing Oggok guards at those levels. Animations are definitely great for when you can't find a good pet though.

Fear kiting works with animations but truly shines when you can charm a rogue for the backstab damage. The other problem with fear kiting for Ench is that fear will often put an unstunned/snared mob out of melee range, and needing to dismiss/break charm to get full Exp off the mobs.

Not sure what level you are OP, but tanking for your pet is entirely viable from 1-12. Even at 12 there are plenty of great charm kiting spots for a lowbie ench to practice at.
