In my opinion your best exp rate will be found in groups (until you can quad kite but that has a very high death ratio).
I agree that for the most part your fastest exp is in groups, but I have died precisely once while quad kiting on p99 (pulled mobs with a sow that had like 30 seconds of duration left and didn't realize it till it fell, idiot moment, tried to gate but was bound in the same zone nearby and an ice giant killed me while trying to get to the ZL), but never when I had sow. I may have died once or twice on live, but I don't remember ever dying. Quad kiting is absolutely safe if you have sow or jboots.

Quad Kiting

Quad kiting can be done with preparation. Some sort of movement boost (sow, Sow potions, or jboots) is pretty much required. You need to know the lay of the land and have the Bonds of Force Spell. Basically you pull up to 4 creatures (the max that can be hit by your pillar ae spells), bunch them up by running circles around them, get max distance then cast an AE spell. Its really fun to do and super dangerous, you need a wide open area but then you will be able to rack in the exp.
A little secret is you can quad kite without bonds of force - although it's really not as effective as root-nuking for sheer exp/hour until 24, and bonds of force makes it incredibly easier and faster. Send me a PM if you want some good places to hunt around that level.
