These are the methods as I understand them.
Fear kiting: Snare the mob. Fear mob. Start casting on mob. Sic pet on mob. When fear breaks and mob runs back to you, rinse and repeat. Necros CAN melee while fear kiting.

Agro kiting: Snare the mob. Start casting on the mob. Run further away. Continue casting and running away. When you have sufficient agro so that your pet won't start taking melee damage from mob, have it attack.

I have generally seen fear kiting done in a relatively narrow back and forth straight line, where as most of the agro kiting I have seen was in more of a wider area to provide more movement.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

if you notice in every zone the mobs have a certain direction they will go when feared (they all run the same way) wether it be north, south, east, west or whatever. a good thing to do is to snare the mob take it away from others and then fear it and learn this direction. aggro kiting is fun to, just get aggro and kite, send in pet (turn pet tuant off). we just got a new fear spell, not sure up to what lvl mob it works on yet, ill post when i find out. hope this helps
