HonorBuddy ignoring mobs already in combat?

Today I tried to write a grinding profile to farm Tiny Whelplings in Wetlands, targetting fast-respawning mobs who fight each other (Ebon Slavehunter - NPC - World of Warcraft and Dragonmaw Whelpstealer - NPC - World of Warcraft). The problem is the bot moves between my hotspots, but only attacks a mob if it is not already in combat - so if the X's are fighting the Y's and all the Y's die, then my bot will start attacking the X's. If a mob aggro's on to me, then the bot will kill the mob.

Is this intentional behavior, or is there something I'm missing in my profile? (my other grinding profile, that farms nagas - who are just patrolling - works perfectly).

I didn't upload a log file because there's nothing to see in it... just HB starting up like normal, moving between hotspots, and casting spells when a mob aggro's on to me or HB attacking a mob that isn't already in combat :/

Help? :P

At the moment I'm using a "quest" profile to move between the hotspots and "swipe" (druid aoe) to kill the mobs - which looks really bot'ish when there are no mobs at the hotspot :P
 
I'm pretty sure this has to do with preventing the bot attacking mobs that another player is attacking to prevent griefing.
 
There is a really good spot for farming embersilk that I have at home that is similar to that... the mobs are at war and the best way to handle them is to bomb them with massive AOE. I'm evening leveling up a Mage primarily for situations like that. I was figuring it wouldn't be hard to right a profile for the area, create hotspots that are near where the frontlines always are and then let the mage let fly with AOEs.

If HB ignores mobs that are already engaged in a fight (although they ARE red, not grey) then HB would be useless for a situation like that and I'd have to do it by hand.
