I try my best never to have commands queued (you repeated poison smoke before the first lag wore off, and you typed flee about six times), because you never know when things will change while you wait for the lag to finish. Spamming flee is bad because if the first one works, you end up delayed waiting for the next half dozen to go through, which may give an enemy the milliseconds to track you and restart combat. (I realize that Cyrac wasn't trying to kill you here, but it's a bad habit in any case. Put in one, and be ready to repeat it if it fails.)

If you play a class with area attacks, learning to use them carefully will save you several deaths. You see a lot of dead newbie bards right around the time they get piercing sweet music.
