I don't have a problem with that. I guess my problem with fluid aura is that most WHM don't seem to know when not to use it. Undergeared tank? Okay, I can give you that. I can totally see it being useful if they aren't already taking such heavy damage that you're reduced to cure spamming. I run an i99 paladin and I've had WHMs do this to me though, which is nothing short of utterly stupid. In that case, you're not helping. You're just removing a mob from my control and pushing it out of the dps area so we all have to chase it.

I don't even necessarily like seeing them use it on mobs that are actually hitting them because more often than not they push it out of range for me to grab aggro on it, so they've only delayed the inevitable. If you're getting hit, the best thing to do is bring me the mob (intelligently of course, don't go standing in a cone aoe or anything) and I'll be happy to take aggro off you. If you die, I die and I like to prevent as much of that as possible.
