Did this all through my 50's on my druid. Here is what I learned:

• Give preference to wolves as pets. They are slightly higher level on average than the bears.
  
  
• Use haste and thorns on your pet.
  
• Snare EVERYTHING. Especially your pet (I refresh before each charm). Nothing ruins your cycle quicker than a runner that aggros tentacle terrors.
  
• I used my level 24 root. I found it gave me enough time compared to mana efficiency.
  
• Use Invis to Animals (quicker and mana cheaper than Camo) to break your charm. Any time charm is broken all damage is cleared to give you full exp.
  
• < 5% health is your magic level that gives you enough time to cast invis to break charm, root, and ES vambraces to death anything. ES Vambraces are about 2% per cast IIRC. So you may need 3.
  
• Once you have a mob down to 5% its snare should make it stay in place. Break your charm, run to the other end of the room, recast charm, then ES vambraces the mob before sending your re-charmed pet (which should be at about 60% life) on another mob. Let it work while you DoT your prior mob. That's your basic pattern.

Hope this helps.

Thorns.. maybe if you got the mana. But haste? Never. You want your pet to die as fast as possible. Pull to your snared pet and root npcs there. I usually had 2 roots up incase. Bind down there, and make sure you have a leatherfoot hat.

Snare, Glamour, Charm pet. Have it guard and pull to him so you don't have to battle with the pathing there. Get a few animals. I usually had 3-5 beating my pet at a time. Once he gets low hp invis, and es arms old pet. Get a new pet and rinse and repeat. As long as your new pet doesn't hit your old pet, or atleast not for much dmg you will get full exp.
