Problem - Ranger Pulling - Lots of issues I'm finding

I'm having issues setting up pulling with the ranger. The issues I'm seeing are below. I've tried multiple settings and in different zones without luck.

Pulling with taunt
50% of the time the ranger will walk to the mob, taunt, and sit there getting hit. The logs will say the following:

it will spin on this forever.

This is common for larger mobs.

Pull with Face
Ranger will pull with face, run back too camp and get beat on without attacking. Range will dance for ~10 seconds at time trying to get back to the camp spot set.


successful Pulls
Ranger will go to camp, get beat on, the rest of the party will soon attack, but now ranger doesn't know if it should melee or range. It will dance around the target trying to auto attack for about 80% of the mobs life, essentially removing all DPS thee ranger could've done.

Mez'd Mobs
Even though I have it set to break mez, it will not break mez on some mobs. It will sit there and wait for mez to break, and I have the toggle set to "break mez"

Can't turn off range combat
I have turned off all range abilities, yet the ranger still wants to shoot arrows.
I've taken the bow off, and I see logs of "you need a bow to use

I'm not sure how to configure this to:
- Never use range attack
- run back to camp always when pulling a target without getting stuck
- break mez.
 
Face pull is kind of a fallback and shouldn't be used ideally. Have you tried range pulling? Also the too far / cannot see is us responding to the game client errors. Not much we can do about that other than wiggle the character around (which we do).
 
I switched to hunt and have other toons who are not running RG Mercs to be on Chase with distance set so they don't dance and this works best in some areas.

I do notice that sometimes on pulling the ranger would just sit and attack and not run back to camp. They'd then die because ranger. This usually occurs when the ranger is stunned or something during the pull.
