-You could use the dagger method mentioned above to push DPS higher but I can't imagine doing that for any sustainable amount of time before it drove me crazy. It might let you take a single buffed pet through 3 mobs in one go, though.

This charm-tank method is far more efficient than charm-fear kiting because it effectively increases the DPS you do by 50%, allowing you to fit more kills into a pop cycle. Once you have the method down you can clear 9 pops on the big raptor isle in the ~15 minutes it takes for one to repop and die again. Prior to the big nerf to charm breaks a few months ago I was only getting 6 per cycle tops using fear and a single buffed Vicious pet.

Fear kite is way faster. Not even close, if there are a lot of animal mobs around. A charmed, 70% hasted, dual dagger wielding tiger or raptor will mow down 10 mobs before the charm breaks easy, he kills feared mobs in litterally seconds. And even with the odd break you only lose him for a couple seconds. Any caster who isn't an idiot doesn't need root to med, I never miss a med tick while kiting. It ain't hard to count to 5 mississippi.
