I'm in Shimmering Flats, doing those grinding quests as they also have the added benefit of levelling skinning. I see a rare elite basilisk wandering about, a level 37 beast known as Ironeye the Invincible. I haven't ever been able to tackle an elite that high of level compared to me (33 at the time), but I try. I get him nearly halfway dead before he kills my pet and almost kills me. As I'm licking my wounds, I send a tell in general for help. Another 33 rogue shows up. First attempt, he nearly kills my pet and in a desperate grab for survival, I distracting shot, mend pet, and try to disengage. It doesn't work, the elite kills me. Rogue vanishes. Second attempt, I spam mend pet as soon as it wears off, and almost immediately pull aggro which lasts the entire match and he kills me easily, as well as the rogue. I swear a bit and announce that I'm done trying, but when I rez and the rogue does as well, he stealths up and cheap shots the elite. I can't let him try it alone, so I send my pet in and start hurting him. The rogue holds aggro for a very brief amount of time and then the elite lunges at me. My pet didn't even faze him.
For the rest of the fight, all I did was run away, angled so I was circle strafing, while I did a cycle of concussion shot and arcane shot, serpent sting if it had worn off. For about 3 or so minutes (this method damaged him very slowly as the rogue couldn't catch up, I had Aspect of the Cheetah on to get distance) the boss couldn't catch up to me. Then it resisted a concussion shot so I switched to Aspect of the Monkey and Wing Clipped him. As soon as I got some distance I went back to Aspect of the Cheetah and continued my rotation. Seemed very cheap, but it worked.
Is this a normal hunter tactic? What could I do to tweak my strategy? When the mob closed in, he devastated my health so I was forced to use a health potion and I was still close to death when I got back out of his range.
Edit: I should mention that every attempt at feign death was resisted.
