Stone Curse the ones in the back.

Personally, I usually stone-cursed the ones in the front to provide more separation from the ones that can still follow you.

Probably it depends a bit on how tough the monsters are relative to your lvl: if they are easy enough that you can kill off the front monsters before they reach you, you can afford to sc the rear ones (and it may not matter which ones you sc anyway); but if you're retreating large distances to spread out the mobs, and killing them off one-on-one, you're better off scing one of the closest monsters.
