The issue lies with the mob hitboxes which are pretty much broken on every EMU, and the reason I quit my first char (bard) in the first place, not that bards are useless now.
The hitboxes for mobs are not exactly where the model you see on your screen is.
It is kinda like CSS. It may look like you're shooting someone in the face, but his hitbox is lagging a foot or 2 behind him.
This same issue is what has screwed up swarm kiting for bards.
To get close enough to the swarm of mobs for the PBAE song to hit, you will have to get close enough to BE hit, thus making it pretty much impossible/inefficient.
