I kid, but thankfully my healers don't have to work so hard unless i goofed on establishing threat.
Those indicators are your lifeline as a tank. Now that you know they're there and what they mean, start making it your second nature to be aware of them at all times. When pulling aggro, you want the "traffic signal" indicators to all be red squares on you. That means you're doing your job and their aggro is just for you. But even a red triangle means you've lost aggro to someone and you're only second most hated now. Literally, the instant a red triangle comes up as an indicator, you should fly off the handle with a lob or a flash and scream into a headset, "YO MOB BITCH WHAT YOU THINK YOU DOING IMMA CUT YOU". I don't believe this part helps in pulling aggro back, but it makes me feel more connected to the moment.
