Bard charm question

You can also use mobs that are social to really build the pack up (like drolvargs in DL). You aggro like 5 mobs, charm one, sick the charmed on on one of the others...the rest of the pack will stop chasing you and fight the charmed mob (now 4 on 1) if you run them close enough to the charmed mob fighting.

Does this actually work now? Earlier in this server's life this method of swarm-kiting was not feasible because the pack of mobs would never re-aggro a subsequent pet after the initial charm dropped, leaving the bard with no option but to zone or kite the whole pack with AoEs. The charmed pet's aggro basically belonged to the bard after the initial charm broke, which was not the case on Live, of course, or the method you've described would have never worked.

If this actually functions properly now then I guess it's time for me to finally level the bard I wanted to play when this server launched nearly a decade ago.
