Well, yeah, you do more damage, but you gotta take into consideration that you're leveling, not ambushing some mage. Send your pet in, auto shot, let the pet get and KEEP the aggro, and just burn the mob down and move on to the next. There is no hassle, no running around, no feigning death. You just point, click, wait, loot. I always throw in a serpent sting to help it go faster, but anything more isn't worth the mana. Thats my formula for grinding quickly with almost no down time.
Its very simple, and it sounds boring, but the simplicity of it actually lets me get creative with the fights I get into. You'll see what I mean when you do Stranglethorn Fever. You're not gonna win that one with aimed shot and multi shot.
and one more thing... if you don't do it already, learn how to sacrifice your pet. Some quests may seem impossible because you have to fight through legions of elite mobs that are higher level than you. Well, I've found that many times, just sending in my pet to draw their attention (and eventually just die) will buy me enough time to run in and loot whatever quest objective I'm looking for. Even better than sending your pet in to die is kiting mobs with it... just make your pet aggro the mobs and jump off a nearby ledge. Now thats what kiting is all about.
and finally... I want to brag.

To illustrate how badass this thing is... I was just standing in IF, running the game at 1600x1200, and I was getting 42fps.
