what'd i do wrong?

Do you mean you are spinning the mobs? If you are please don't. Melee cannot appropriately position themselves at the flank or rear so spinning the mobs will nerf your party dps. Also, spinning mobs puts the ranged at risk of being hit by frontal aoe. Always position the mobs facing them away from the party and hold them in place moving only when you need to avoid aoe.

do you mean circling the entire mob? i lock onto only one target, hit, and then run directly behind the same target, and repeat when he turns around to face me. but i doubt ill be doing this anymore anyways if im rotating my attacks now.
