It’s not so much “kiting” the guardian druid, but just not stacking while his cooldowns are active. Don’t give them the free cleave damage, force them to peel with cyclones and stop their damage.
Just make sure if you play a melee cleave that the person being attacked does their best to cleave the guardian + partner while the other person annoys the healer. You can choose to ride the dps or guardian after their cooldowns are over, but just expect a dampening match where you will need to OOM their healer to win.
