As a soloing Necro, I can say for sure that not all 51+ mobs back then summoned. I never did anything but kite back then (Although some of it was fear kiting)
97% was always my marker. When I was getting close to 97% and fighting a mob I didn't know summoned or not, I'd keep my finger on Feign. It also let me stack enough DoTs on summoning mobs I wanted to try ghetto kiting. (See Below)
10 seconds seems about right. I remember in Kunark being able to very, VERY slowly kill summoning mobs solo through the use of Splurt, Timing Feign death, and Running for 9 seconds or so to let Splurt tick before Feigning again. And if I had a SoW or what not, I could usually get far enough away to recast a DoT or a fast casting Nuke.
