Well I've been fighting Banthas on Tatooine and I've been trying different techniques, but this little trick seems to work.
Usually there are two banthas around the lair, and shortly they are dead. Well I used to just take pot shots at the lair until some more spawned, which usually spawned two more sets of two each. After that no more would come out of the lair and I'd destroy the lair.
Instead of attacking the lair now, it seems that after I kill the initial two banthas and move about 160m away from the lair, after about a minute the spawns reset and there are two more banthas.
I've been working the same lair for about an hour now, and the experience is rolling in *much* faster without having to go back to town, which is about 1.3km away.
There is a seemingly endless supply of Banthas from the lair, because I have yet to see any indication of it stopping spawning. And even if there were a limited supply, I've gotten about 20 banthas without ever hitting the lair once, so it's still a much more effective method than the one I was using.
Happy hunting!

Experience has show me that lairs have a certain number of mobs within that spawn with the lair. If you choose to milk it out, you will eventually end up getting all the mobs out of the lair without ever having fired a shot at the lair. Then you can kill the lair and nothing will pop out, no matter how slow you attack it. On the flip side, if you kill a lair very fast, then not everything will get a chance to pop out before the lair dies. Before they nerfed the lair hps, my BH friend and I could take out some lairs in 2-4 sec. We'd get swamped with mobs yes, but not the total amount the lair had. Lairs seem to have from anywhere of 8-25 mob in then, but I can't recall ever seeing more than 25. Every lair I've milked, I HAVE hit a point where it will no longer spawn, moving out of range of the lair or not =)
