I'd also like to add:
Charm Swarming:
Required songs: charm, selo's, invis, chants
Basically if you are in an area with a bunch of similar mobs you charm one from the pack and send it to fight the rest of the pack. They destroy your charmed pets HP so fast you break invis and then finish it off with selo's and chants. Rinse and repeat. Make sure to not do anything to any other mobs except aggro by proximity or mob assist. Not sure how relevant this strategy is on this server but it worked decently for me on live during the PoP era. I'm aware charms cost mana so it may not work out great. I used this strat at the werewolf camp in Plane of Nightmare. Best charm break item for this is Goblin Gazughi ring.

When charm breaks all aggro the pet built up is passed on to you on P1999 servers. So you can do this once, but then whatever the pet was hitting is now glued to you and not the rest of the pack. Your next charm target has to be the mob you're pet was previously on or the pack won't stick to the next charm. Even then it's hit and miss. Charm-swarming does not work well on P1999 for this reason.
EDIT: And back in the PoP days *this* was called swarm kiting on my server. Everyone called the PBAE kiting that's so popular now "suicide kiting" due to the extreme risk. I heard someone call it ZD-kiting recently (zone disruption) and it's a pretty apt name. :P
