Solo - Outdoors:
2 options- fear kiting, or aggro kiting
Aggro kiting- snag it with a Darkness (and maybe add another DoT) /pet attack, and run in a big circle while it dies.
Pros: good control of where the mob goes, no accidental aggro
Cons: little time to med, Darkness can wear off while you run and you'll get beat on while re-applying. DoTs only do 2/3 damage, killing is slower.

Fear kiting- Snag with Darkness, fear, /pet attack (+2nd Dot) med and watch for fear to wear off.
Pros: efficient, easy.
Cons: can't control where the mob runs, may aggro other mobs in the area, or may lose Line of Sight, etc.

That's right, DoTs still do full damage on feared mobs. I'd go with this over aggro kiting, then.
