Are the wolves rare or hard to fight or keep on the trap?
While it certainly saves time , more if hard to get, I otherwise found 
no problem with trapping.
  No kiting needed, tag them with something ranged, drop trap in line 
with their attack line to you.
Stand and fight, dot and dps, if the don't trap when down enough turn 
around and walk away in a direct line with their centre.
Traps 75%+ of the time, usually much more just not always.

Wouldn't this work if you just did the above but laid trap early, 
stopped dps and dot at 60%, turn until trap expired and just placed a 
new one without running around?

The miss rate seems to be random-ish, maybe some slightly out of 
position. Some will not trap even if you just had a straight run of a 
dozen successes with the exact same method.

Meh, I usually trapped on a skinner anyway :-)
