2. When splitting mobs do not sneak while feigned until all mobs have started patching back.
Again, please stop misleading new monks with this erroneous information. I don't know why you think this is how it works, but it's not.

What you want to do is to Sneak as soon after you have FD-ed as possible, so as to reduce the amount of time you have to potentially waste to get a successful Sneak in. If you sneak right after you FD, FD will come off cooldown like a second before Sneak. And if Sneak doesn't come off cooldown in the next 1-3 second after FD came off cooldown, you know the Sneak was successful.

It does not matter when you sneak when FD/Sneak pulling with relation to how the mobs will path back.

(If you're of lower level, Maskedmelon, your mileage may vary with what you're seeing agro wise.)

EDIT: The only two things that matter (basically) are 1. Was the Sneak successful? and 2. Are any mobs facing you when you're standing up again? If the sneak is successful and in a pull of three mobs, two are pathing back, you can stand up and only the one mob facing you will come (provided the two that are pathing back are behind the one facing you of course). End result is a single pull, only you made it happen faster than if you were waiting for all mobs to path back and then start trying to get succesful sneaks in.
