Now run to the mob just to be in melee range with him at the 5 seconds mark so you can hit it and run again. Rince and repeat.

yup, pretty much this. if you're good you can also sit down for meditate ticks in between swings. that's why Tantor's Tusk is the ultimate root jousting weapon -- 60 delay! the perfect amount of time to be able to get meditate ticks between swings. (lots of shamans would probably be naturals at this skill [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )

fights can take awhile, but thats not a big deal when you finish at 80% health and 80% mana [You must be logged in to view images.
