^correct, it is random, but seems based on their current aggro. You can be standing right beside some mobs and they won't even notice you because they're targeting someone else. Considering the sometimes inconsistent (and often unprovoked) fire rate of the missiles, I think sometimes the mob is targeting a player who is out of range of the missile launch radius. Once you attack them, they retarget and fire every possible chance (3 or 5sec, it seems; not on attack like we're limited to).
