Selo's can actually make kiting more difficult. If you want to try out kiting in the newbie areas ( might be a bit low for you now ) you can start at level 2 when you get your damage song, just have to strafe run the whole time. You can do that til about level 5 in the newb yards, after that it's not very time-efficient until level 8 when you can buff up your dot damage with instruments.

Also watch out for mobs with faster run speed - I'm not entirely sure if there are any in EC/WC, but often times wolves and lions will be faster than other mobs, for example.

Also also there are a number of kiting guides for bards on the wiki - just look for the bard section under guides, if you want more details on macros/specific strategies etc.
