If the eye's moving too fast to track by sensor or my own panning motion, I look for something in the same focus plane or don't take the shot. With patience, I can get images of people when they're relatively stationary at events and celebrations, and wildlife in the field.

this is precisely why I shun AF. I don't want to wait until they're relatively stationary, with a shallow DOF there isn't something else in the precise plane of focus and I do want to take the shot (and not always with the camera designer's compositional rules).
