I'm not entirely sure. He has some hit-and-run to him (he gains regen per level and obviously has DoT), but against powerful enemies you want to make them fight on your sludge as much as possible, which works best if you can keep them bunched together. My experience is that he usually does better by going all out, moving rapidly in a small area to avoid getting hit while maximizing his damage output, rather than hitting and hiding -- if you're not hitting enemies constantly with his sludge and melee attack, his damage is just too slow otherwise.
