How deal with the insane run speed of mobs

[madara]

It seems if your alone and have aggro just find a good spot to die, I cant seem get any of my old tricks years back to work they just run way too fast. I even got my first sow from a kind 40 druid passing in misty and I went to turn around and try my AE spell and they were right behind me, would not even get the spell to the half way point of casting, craziness. Does this effect druid kiting later on? Server seems more hardcore then even classic was.
