    Both of these are a bit incorrect.

    Red Square means you currently hold the monster's attention.
    Flashing orange upside down triangle means you are about to get hate (>95% of the person with the mob's attention).
    The orange triangle stops flashing if you are far enough behind the person currently holding enmity. (about 80%->95% of the person with the mob's attention)
    Yellow right side up triangle means you have between 50%-80% or so of the enmity of the person with the mobs attention.
    Green circle is anything below that. (<50%)

    If you are tanking and any of the enemy party list is not flashing red square, then you aren't tanking. Flashing orange doesn't mean someone's about to take the mob's attention, it means they just did.

    What all of you really want, anyway, is a feature on the enemy party list that lets you know when someone else has attained the orange or yellow status on the enemy party list. After all, anything besides all red on the enemy party list for a tank is too late, and everything all red is "normal". There is no warning.

    I'd suggest to Square that if you're on a tank job, the enemy party list should show the highest enmity status from the party instead of your status. As in, if the black mage in your party is Yellow and everyone else is Green, that mob shows Yellow on the tank's enemy party list widget. Then the tank would be looking for the mob list to show all greens, and the feature would be a huge help to new tanks. (even experienced tanks would be interested, I'm sure)
