The highest threat stoneclaw will attract all the mobs until it's dead. They will then go after a second stoneclaw.

Stoneclaw lasts a maximum of 15 seconds.

So if you're laying 5 stoneclaw, and evenly divide that by say... 5 mobs... You have 3 seconds to kill each mob before all your stoneclaws are gone. If the mobs kill faster than the stoneclaw's 15 second despawn time, then you have less time than that.

Stoneclaw max rank (untalented -- because seriously, that talent is WEAK) has 1315 health and a 50% stun rate. Trust me, it doesn't last long enough.
