Some people hate it, others love it. Some people will go from level 9 to 50 on their own kiting. It can work well. A simple drill. Just use DoTs, count to 42 or 120 depending whether it is disease of poison and re-apply.
SoW lasts ages.
But go elsewhere the kiting is far easier. Often you can do it with Direct Damage nukes and kill the mod faster but have a longer meditation afterwards. A good group, at any level, fighting the right mobs will always level faster than a solo kiting the best mobs they could be kiting. However, groups break up, are imbalanced, take time to form. A whole host of delays and problems can affect groups.
