Now, I know latency is a thing, and people often see you move at a different pace than you see yourself. So what is the best approach?

Personally, if I am marked with an AOE, I move away from the boss, but I will stop moving and let others have the chance to move away from me to try and avoid the "chasing" scenario.

On the other side of it, though, I have had it where I am not marked with an AOE, so I don't move, and someone who is marked with one decides to stop on top of me.
You ever try to move out of the way for a stranger and you both keep side-stepping in the same direction? This is that scenario but with mechanics. So are you the type of person who, when marked with AOE, keep running until you're away from everyone, or do you expect people to move out of your space?

I think it has to be done within the circumstance, but I'm curious to see where people stand.
Generally speaking, move towards other non AOE marked people. The AOE guy will generally not run towards others already in a set, safe position unless the mechanic demands it..in which case you should know them mechanics to be aware that is the case.
