As a bard I use throwing knives all the time. I find them essential for my low level when ae kiting. Instead of running around twisting ae damage song hoping it ticks on the mob as you run buy, or praying it doesn't tick on something that will slay you, or, stopping to smack each mob to Agro it and risking get chain ganked by your train. I simply run by and throw a knife at it, now it's angry and following along without much risk to me, I'll generally run around till I have gone through a stack or so of knives and then kite them all down. I personally don't know of any other ae kiting pulling methods, so I could be doing this in a sub-par way, and there might be a much more effective method I do not know of out there, but I find throwing knives/shurikens to be very effective personally, just my 2cp.
