im mainly asking for AK but it applies to all when im speed running and pulling all the mobs do I need to shield lob each pack and hit them or is simply running past getting aggroed enough?

I used to Tomahawk them in the beginning because I thought it was necessary, but then I stopped and I've never had any issues with mobs not aggroing when I run past. I think they'll trigger from the train of other mobs even if they don't catch on the normal way.
You can just run through. You only have to worry about one of the linked pack seeing you.
I only use shield lob when I don't want to deviate from the current direction I am going.
It's not strictly necessary to hit everything. As long as you're the first thing that it sees, it'll typically focus on you and ignore everyone else.
Even if its unnecessary, though, I find myself preferring the tanks that toss out a Flash at each mob pack just to cement the aggro. Helps to keep the rest of the group safe if the tank somehow missed one monster in a pack as they ran through.
I just flash everything as I run through, as a gladiator, the blind helps you survive a bit, and the flash guarantees you grab it. Also, sometimes if you just run through, the mob does not pull. I will shield lob or provoke mobs that are "out of my direct line" to where I am going, and shield bash the big guys, if I have to run through them.
that makes life so much easier yay lol up to this point ive been going out of my way to hit them all lol the flash things a good idea though ill have to do that
