This may not be helpful. When I would bring in all the mobs to the area and I was more or less sure that they had all come to the spot to be kited, I would turn my sound up all the way (so it is easier to listen to how loud the footsteps were to gauge how close the mobs are), turn down my clip plane to 10% or so, I'd turn off NPC names, and I would turn the spell Opacity to 0%. Also, I turned off completely DoT damage in the Filters section so I wouldn't get a giant influx of text every tick (which seemed to give me a bit of a lag spike). This way the only indicator I see of the mobs being dotted is "Soandso winces" or whatever it is and of course the playing of the instrument. Even after all of this, I would get not so much network lag but if I wasn't careful I would end up turning very sharply because that many mobs for whatever reason kills frames. But for me it wouldn't kill frames in lowering the frames uniformly it would be more like spikes that would come. It felt like driving in a shitty car at like 100+ mph, where it gets kind of shaky. Also, I would make buttons so each time I would go to cast my dot, it would hide all the corpses. This way there are less things to possibly lag me and I could avoid accidentally looting while turning.
By level 31 or so, you should be able to kill all of the drolvargs in FV. I think around level 28 there were some that were too high. I would do an entire kite and check and some of the snarlers were at 100% health. By 30 or 31, you should be good to go.
