Yes it happens to me a lot. Just like others had suggested, /pet back off
is the only command that will work.
This is my guess why this happens:
You charmed a mob and tell it to attack another mob.
When the charm wore off, he comes and attack you.
You recharm it and normally it will go and attack the previous target
before he was on.
But somehow the moment before he was recharmed, he accquired a new
target whom is your groupmate.
So when he is recharmed, he went back to attack your groupmate.
I have OTHER'S HIT turned off.. so this is pretty annoying to me for I wont
know my pet is hitting my groupmate until I was told. :(
