I always grab SoW if I can, while soloing or grouping. It frees an extra
song in the rotation and is always on, rather than having to start it up
while being pummelled. Once you hit 46, you can kill even faster by
twisting the 3 dots with SoW. One caveat, you require more kiting room
using SoW instead of Chains. And if there's multiple mobs, I will always
charm 1, rather than kite them both. I find this much more "fun" and I'm
pretty sure it's faster, too. In fact, if I'm kiting, I might look for a
2nd mob just to cut down on the tedium. :p

The one AC I helped kill, there was no question the ring went to my GF's
Mage. :) Tho, I have to ask her to remove Jboots when we're traveling. <g>
