undead gold elites own me :(Follow

so after getting to lvl 56 in un'goro crater and owning up on the gold elite dino's (they were a lvl or 2 above me), i get all cocky and head to WPL and start questing there.

for the All Along the Watchtowers (Group) quest, there's a gold elite undead guarding each tower. i think, ok, no problem, those dinos were a pushover (not really but you know) and so i try killing it. send in VW, dot him up, drain life, pull aggro, and then get owned up nicely.

the first time, i didn't have a healthstone ready so i make one and try again. and get owned again. i don't have any health potions currently, but even that seems like it might not be enough to really let me get a good win.

since i can't fear them (which is what let me beat the dino's), am i just stuck not being able to do this quest solo until another level or 2? or is there a good tactic i haven't tried yet (i'm basically just drain tanking them)? should i lay off the dots some and try health funnel instead and keep my VW on it for longer? use succy for better pet dps?

any suggestions would be appreciated.

oh and i'm affliction specc'd, if that makes a difference.

thanks

Something alot of Locks I've spoken with/seen when trying to solo some tricky mob don't do is just let the VW get 2-3 Taunts in before you start your cycles. You'd be surprised how cemented a mob will get onto your VW if you just let him solo for the first 15-20 seconds. So that'd be my suggestion, send in the VW, let him attack the mob alone for 15 sec., then start your routine.

If Afflicition, doesn't CoEx work on Undead? When I was Aff and had it, I was a big fan of the CoEx, dotdotdot run, SB, Immo, SB, CoEx, run, etc.
