I don't have CoE. You could do a few things depending on level and how much of a beating you can take. What I do is dot every one of them with Siphon Life, Corruption, Curse of Agony. Once they are all dotted, I could use howl of terror, then drain-life each of them while feared.

You could also send in the VoidWalker to collect all four mobs and dot each of them with the dots above, then just pick one and drain away.

I've never used Curse of Exhaustion. I don't pvp much and use fear for getting mobs off me.

But that's just me.

tanaris level is around 45, i really cant see how it is possible to grind 4 mobs without really good gear effectively. Multi mob grinding is only effective when your dots (sl,Curse of Agony,cor) can take out a mob.

I put all of the points to maximize the drain abilities, at your level you won't have all of the affliction tree candy, but howl of terror being instant is one of my main move. I DoT up, fear as needed, and cast CoE on mobs and play tag with them. Usually I will then drain life on the last guy, while the other are beating on me--but near death.
