I've managed to kite in Crushbone atop of trainer hill. I decided to give it at shot and see if I was able. I managed to kill everything on top of the hill (even the trainer who cons yellow).
The problem is, every time I wanted to re-dot them I had to take some damage. There seemed to be no way around me taking hits. I tried multiple tactics of weaving back to cast on them, trying to let them get closer but not close enough to bite, etc. Nothing seemed to work. I would assume at a higher level and with mobs that stun more often I would have been dead. Luckily here there were only a few mobs most of them were green.
How do you re-dot the mobs without getting hit?

If you're not fighting stuff with exceptional reach or speed (giants, drolvargs, sowed mobs, etc.), then you must just not be doing it quite right.
Bottom line is it's pretty damn tricky getting in close enough to land chords dot without getting meleed though, since the 30 range is so close to the melee reach of most stuff. The method that I believe works best for sticking the 30-range dot(s) is straferunning without movement enhancers... but that is probably only going to work in a large, outdoor zone line SK or OT or something, not in CB.
I've never gotten much better than 50/50 on success/death when using the 30-range dots (using the autorun, strafe left, mouseturn right method). There's just too fine of a line between landing it and getting insta-killed for my skill/settings, although this method worked quite nicely for levels 18-25 and 30-47 in OT using the level 18 dot exclusively; probably only died 6-7 times total.
