I think there is too much stress on getting 50% dam. For white and yellow cons, ok, you're going in full fangs out and are dropping everything on them that you can, since you're going to use a lot of mana regardless, might as well go all in and make sure you get 50%. But with blue cons I always do what I call (capitalized of course) the Fastest Sustainable Kill Rate where I try to find the best combination of pet and spell dam to kill with as little downtime as possible and not worry as much about doing 50%.
I find that does the best for me when I'm trying to exp. But like someone upstream said, that's also less of an issue from mid 20s on, your spells do relatively more dam and you're in more zones where everything is agro so you'll tend to park your pet somewhere and will be dragging snared mobs some distance before your pet even has a chance.
