If you do it right, he could swarm kite while the wizard or cleric drops some PBAOEs occasionally to speed up the process. Would take you a while to get the timing down so he could train them past you right as your casting bar completes, and then take some more time figuring out how much you can nuke w/o stealing agro from him.
necros pair well with almost any duo, since they can fear kite while their partner provides additional DPS. They get some PBAOE as well, tho not as much as a wizard or a cleric.

This. In kunark+ items like the goblin gazugi ring could be spammed for threat without risking using your aoe dots n such. It's a rare drop from a rare mob in LOIO with a seemingly pointless use...strange how these things happen. In luclin+ most bards just used the skeeter ear.

Such a ring also has a nice use of an invis which will break charm pets, useful for brd / encs in that regard. Funny how a seemingly hilariously bad item is just so, so useful. Items like this is what makes EQ cool damnit--just like +oskill items in d2 :P
edit: Furthermore, when doing your pb aoe assist kiting, make sure to log out after each AOE to reset threat--the ring doesn't generate much threat, but enough (or did on live :P)
We used to do this in pofire to PL AAs onto new chars~ generally the last pass or two would just be PLee + 1 wizard doing the final blows though, so you'd get 11 / 12 aa per pull (pulls took ~ 25m or so, but worth it :P) could do field 1 and field 2 if the bosses were down.
