Druid Charming

[beev]

First - sorry for all the threads I start but I figured the Priest sub-forum doesn't get much action and I like to learn different methods of grinding out levels.

I've been quadding since 35 and am now 45. I've charmed before but after reading some threads, it sounds like I've been doing it all wrong. I read an old thread from 2011 of two people going at it about what is more efficient, charm-tanking (DS'ing your pet and letting it take hits) or Charm-Fear Kiting. This left me more confused than when I started but I now realize the importance of the Savage spirit line of spells which I've never used before when charming.

I guess my question is, what way have you found the most efficient. Can you let me know what a typical encounter looks like from picking something to charm, to what spells you cast first, etc? And, have you found this to be better than quadding?

I really like the idea of getting a routine down so that I'm sitting at or near full mana for a long time just killing things. I don't expect anyone to give away their hunting spots, I know places are camped enough.
