I think I've figured out what's causing this to happen.
When you cast AoTD you get first a cast bar, then messages about focussing on 1 to 5 courpses, and finally 1 to 5 corpses begin to rise and hopefully attack your target.
This all of course takes time, and agro kiting even snared mobs you might not want to stand in the same spot you cast from while they all activate.
What I believe is happening is that the 150' range (you to the mob) check on cast is getting hit again when the dead rise in the 3rd step for each pet. So, if you run far enough away from the mob after casting but before the corpses rise, they just follow you around instead of attacking the mob you have on target.
I tried running in tight circles around a mob using AoTD and all 5 attacked it, and I tried running away as soon as the spell finished casting and randomly got 1 to 3 pets just lamely following me around instead of attacking.
