If you fear kite in dungeons, learn the pathing and downrank your fear. Fear or Spook the Dead give more control over how far the mob paths away from you. Once you have a suitable area cleared, fear kiting becomes a solid choice.
Shoot for undead. Spook the Dead costs like 7 mana. It's efficient. If you're nervous, keep root memmed. You can fear kite almost anywhere, if you know what you're doing.
Tap tanking is a desperation move meant for summoning mobs. Don't use it to level. If you do tap tank, be sure to move your pet behind the mob while doing it. The damage increase is noticeable, particularly with a hasted charm pet. But most importantly, use this as a last resort.
I never much liked pet pact healing. I've done it when I had to, but it loses most of its power as the spell level where you picked it up falls behind you. Some people love it, and I like the idea, but Pact of Shadow / Shadowbond soloing isn't as efficient as kiting or charm burning. Taps are expensive.
Learn when to sit. Watch when your mana % increases, and be sure to be sitting 5 seconds after that point, to catch the next tick. It adds up, and it's a good habit to get into. You only have to be sitting for the tick, and when you get better at it, sitting for that second won't waste your time. When you are good at this, aggro kiting surpasses fear kiting in efficiency (providing room to do so).
