Its a lot easier to just position your 4 slaves in the corner than try to position them at 36 yards and keep them in range of firing but out of range of leap. Sure its not that hard but putting them in the corner takes seconds and prevents him from ever getting behind them, and as long as you know how to use taunt on your tank your slaves will never get hit with spit.

IMO its just easier/faster (faster for me is by far the key word as I was able to run all of gundrak in less than 20 minutes before I stopped multiboxing) to bundle up in the corner.
Either method is valid, it's up to the player to decide what works best for them. Mine requires that all your alts be ranged, so it's not going to work for everyone to begin with, where yours would work. For me, my method is easier than positioning in the corner because I simply park my guys in the middle of the room and pull Eck only a short distance right up the stairs and focus all my attention on just tearing him down as fast as I can. The Eck spit isn't going to kill me, my priest can keep up with him. I just use this method because it requires virtually no special setup, just distance. As a bonus to your method, you can also get the Eck Residue achievement, but you only need to do that once. "Easier" is a relative term.
