If you're pulling with Provoke you're doing it wrong

[Amyas]

Maybe it's because all I've been running lately is Wanderer's and Amdapor, but I can't think of any pulls where you both need to range pull and can't afford to lose aggro for the 1 GCD it should take to re-establish hate.

I guess it doesn't matter much, as a tank though I feel like my worth is determined by always being on the top of the hate list and always having all mobs on me. In AK there are the Dullahans and the four seperate groups of three enemies right before Demon Wall is a good example of needing ranged pulls, Wanderer's has a few spots too, like the pugil and gear grease mobs at that second chest, plus the last of the three tonberries just after you beat the goobue boss.

Then again, you're correct, we could just let ranged players pull and provoke off of them, though the only case you'll need that is if its a War tank that doesn't have provoke, but the War shouldn't have that much trouble pulling it off of you without it.
