GLA <25 and keeping enmity

[Sadana]

My gear is max level for my level. I'll hop in game later and provide a list since I don't remember the entire gear set from memory. It's all either HQ crafted or dungeon drops if they have better stats than my crafted stuff.

I do know about the agg numbers but they are way harder to see from across the room than the color indicators (I've enlarged the party menu to better see this but increasing it any more will cover too much of the fights.) I check to see who is 2 when I can. Wondering... is this 'averaged' enmity? Or is it just on the mob I am currently targeting?

Yes, I do swap between mobs to keep hate. Maybe not often enough? After my opening, I use FB, SB mob 1, 2, 3, Flash, back to 1, etc. Should I skip FB? (I use Riot Blade to regain mp when I'm sure of enmity).

A friend of mine said that, if a mob is near death from a dps (and they have enmity), I won't be able to pull hate back. Is this true? Like I mentioned in the original post, I don't lose hate at the beginning... it's after a while when the mobs are way down on hp.
