Right. Anyway with regard to crowd control the typical wisdom is that you should concentrate on one opponent at a time so as to reduce the numbers of the enemy as quickly as possible. While this is sound in many cases, it is not in all. I will list some scenarios (with vengeance) where this is not the best approach:
1) When your attack is consistently capable of stunlocking your foes, you have a fast attack (esp against three), and you are facing two or three opponents at a time. In this scenario it's best to alternate attacks between your enemies, keeping them in perpetual stunlock and thus keeping you safe from danger.
2) When facing multiple strong foes. If you have a good level of vengeance the best thing to do is not to focus on one opponent. Instead attack them all once to chill them, then concentrate on taking one out. What that first round of attacks does is effectively reduce the damage you take by 50% since chilling reduces attack speed by 1/2.
In 1.10 monster regeneration is more of a concern but this is easily circumvented by some poison damage charms.
