This isn't really true is it? There's abundant proof showing that it should only last up to 12 seconds in kunark. When did the duration increase?
As for swarm kiting, I think the problem is actually pretty simple. When you body aggro a mob, you get a certain amount of aggro. When a charmed pet attacks a swarm of mobs, the pet gets a certain amount of aggro. The aggro generated from the former is less than that of the latter. I think this is an issue with distance aggro or something, or maybe social aggro, not being as high as it should (I don't know if swarm kiting worked on non-social mobs because I didn't play a Bard on live). This is been bug reported probably a hundred times. Not complaining about it or anything, but it has definitely been reported.
