Charm kite the Stalkers in PoN.

However, thats reliant on someone not being there already which is highly unlikely. In this event, i usually do this to tide me over:

Enter PoN, and face the Grave Yard. Take a left and follow the zone wall until you can see a small bundle of boulders at the base of a small cliff. Watch out near here as there is a mob spawn point on the corner. The zone wall will pan around to the left, and if they're up you will see 2 treants close together, with 1 slightly beyond them.
Harmonise the right treant and run past. *WARNING* Do not get too close to the Cliff drop directly ahead, as you may aggro the gobbys theres who will ruin you day very quickly!.

If you head around to the right before the cliff drop, you will come across 2 Raven spawns. I have found these both to be charmable using CoK, and never had that pain-in-the-ass message telling me otherwise.
Take the right Raven first, and the left won't aggro. You will have plenty enough room to put distance between the 2 of you if snare fails first time, as there is no wanderers in this part of the zone. Charm the Raven and go take on one of the treants. Once your first Raven gets low, break charm kill it off and grab the second.
I've found this to be a nice spot to grind when the stalkers are camped, and i'm waiting for them to come free.

Another suggestion for charm kiting is in PoD. However, i've found the only thing i can charm here are the rats at my level, and they seems to carry a larger amount of hp's, easy to pick up adds and are a general pain in the ass.

As for quad kiting, not something i have done since my 40's, so am looking for ideas myself.

I think at 57 you can start single pulling / quadding the Othmir in CS. The Othmir are fairly nice exp and very nice for loot.

Any of the ravens that have fixed spawn points are charmable with CoK. Such as the 4 points near the waterfall which can be birds, spiders or trees, and the 2 slightly further into the zone near the river. The roaming mobs seem to be all too high.

Stalkers are difficult to pull single, although at 57 you probably wont be able to clear them all, and it is the back ones that are hard to get. I still kill them odd times now, normally for PLing. At level 65 I dont bother with harmony, but I can end up with 4 from a single pull. Until you get to 58 you will have a hard time healing your pet so you may find changing pets after each kill better than healing yours.

I spent levels 57 (which is where I was when pop came out) up to about 62 in PoN doing 50/50 aa/level xp. Getting to level 58 was the biggest bonus, our first 75% heal is vey useful for pets, even if it does only heal about 25% of their hps.

You might even find grouping an option at 58, you can comfortably take a clerics place at that level as your 75% heal will heal most tanks to just about full. or get a group in PoN and take a raven pet, they will do as much if not more damage than the rest of the group as long as you can handle it when charm breaks.

I would stick to pop if you can, the xp/mob is higher than pre pop. I was killing in droga the other day and found that to be really good xp too, but you would need to take your own group at 56, theres a few adds to deal with, but its a great dungeon crawl - took me back to the old days when I used to run low level recruitment raids there for my old guild.

At 57 i could clear the whole Stalker Camp before re-pop. It was a bit crazy, but i never died (yet :)) and got some nice loot. Whether it was mana efficient or not, i dont know.
To start off, i would pull the 2 furthest out from the camp using snare. Them move onto the one in the middle, just outside the camp as well. On pulling that one, you will get 1 add from the bunch. I'd run around (in wolf-form as its faster) until i got that one snared as well.
There's plenty of room to enable you to do this, as long as you don't drift into the zone too far as you'll pick up wandering forest trash.
I would work my way thru the whole camp this way snaring them all one at a time.
Next I charm one (without Glamour as its pointless during this) and set it on the closest stalker. 2 stalkers will engage your pet and start beatin' 10 bells out of it. At 20% health, the rest of the camp chasing you will turn their attention to your pet and tear it a new one damn quick. To save losing the pet i start casting Camo (lowest lvl version) at around 23-24%. When timed right, you're charm drops when your pet is very low on health (under 15%). Root this mob with a low lvl root, which should hold it long enough to break it away from the pack. When the root breaks the mob will go into flee mode. Drop a dot on this mob and let it die.
Rinse and repeat.

If snare drops, just re-apply if needed.

Sound familiar? It is.

Guaranteed its a damn sight easier to charm one stalker, savage it and take out 2 before having to break charm but I got bored very quickly doing this :D
Maybe its just me - but I'm only enjoying myself when i'm living by the skin of my teeth with a whole camp after me, and the token Bard sat on the hill shaking his/her head at me waiting to pick up the mess as he believes im gonna die. Not happened yet though.

Great fun! :)
