I think Radek has nailed it (as usual!). Presence will usually account for who gets attacked the most. Sometimes I think that the monsters just have it in for the weaker party members. I suppose I would do the same thing if I were in their shoes.....
As far as I know the monsters do not attack characters based on their 'threat' rating (eg, who can injure me the most?).
There is little you can do, aside from casting repel on your pixie, lure on one of your tanks and/or neutralizing threats with magic before they can get close... You could improve your pixies AC rating, maybe...
Don't be afraid to manoeuvre (sp?) around a lot. If you move away just before the spider is about to sting you you can completely avoid that attack. It's a little cheesy, but hey, why not?
Cheers,
