These mobs are MADE for charmers and kiters, as they're relatively easy kills, don't summon, low resists, give very decent XP and inhabit a beach which is almost perfectly flat and devoid of structures which might block line of sight. Being animals, tailor-made for druids to charm, too.
Their XP also appears to be buffed a bit. I killed a few of these with a duo of 85 druid and 74 bard and each kill, with no LotD, gave 4.8% of an aa to the druid and 15.2-15.5% to the bard. The gators were 78.
In contrast, killing polar bears in Icefall, which is currently a HOT zone, give 5.8% of an aa at 85 and 16.1-16.4% at 74. That's for level 77 bears. Considering this is a hot zone, the gators are clearly giving more xp than what their extra +1 in level would warrant.
Level 75 grizzly bears in LP, a camp which unlike the gators, is almost always available, render 3.6%/12.7% aaxp for a level 75 bear.
Tha gators also run at low HP, something none of bears do, so that's a factor to consider as well.
All in all, these reptiles are an excellent camp to churn out some experience, for classes that can charm and/or kite them.
Keep in mind these aa values are for a duo. Soloers will get higher mileage!
