Hope that the bloodgill i had charmed is <20% - Invis, and then nuke it.

The second bloodgill always gives me moveable exp / more exp in my bar than the second, purely because there was no pet to eat it. I have changed my strategy (nuke twice) and I get double the experience on the first mob as well, but then I usually need to find more mobs to kill my pet again. It's a vicious cycle.

Try this:
Get a Goblin Gazughi Ring and use it to break charms.
Use Cajoling Whispers, less mana and you do not need the charm to last so long.
Make a macro /pet back /pet attack /pet back /pet attack
Use the level 4 mesmerize after breaking pets to avoid a round of melee from unrooted pets or to force broken pets to flee by mezing rooted adds.

Charm a bloodgill. Agro a bunch of bloodgills with your pet, get them stacked up with your macro, root them with pe, start a timer for three minutes.
Once you got that rooted, if your pet is still alive agro more bloodgills, stack them on the previous stack, root them with pe, start a timer for three minutes.
By now your pet should be getting low on life, break charm when its a nuke from death and get that xp. You now have a stack of mobs to kill, find whatevers highest hp in the stack and charm that. Rinse repeat, remember to keep up with your roots. This works exceptionally well while you can still use Cajoling Whispers in areas you can also use theft of thought to clear lots of mobs with no downtime.
