-WATCH OUT FOR PATS! They're the mobs that move around, and can often be accidentally pulled when you are fighting a different group. That leads to:

-You don't need to fight the mobs exactly where they stand. Try pulling them back to where you are, which allows you more room to use AoE and avoid pats.

-Line of Sight (LOS): for ranged mobs, you'll often want to grab aggro (use a ranged ability) then run behind a corner/box/column in order to get the ranged mobs to run over to you. This will help with both the previous tips.

-You don't need to kill every mob in an instance, there are often packs you can avoid, but you'll only learn that after running a few times. It is generally a good idea to clear all mobs around a boss though, because bosses will sometimes aggro every mob in the area to the fight, when you just are trying to take on a boss.
