I absolutely agree. Hey I did level a pally so I felt the pain associated with it. Now imagine leveling a WAR and not even having taunt. :X

I230 DDs can rip the threat of my I200 DRK easily if they tunnel too. Equipment plays a HUGE role in aggro generation. Imho too much, given how often you have really really shitty gear when leveling.

That bein said: I am absolutely merciless when I play AST. Cleric -> DOT on all mobs -> continued damage on the focus target with healing through cleric as needed.

In 75% of all cases: I tank all the mobs (including the focus target). Sorry, but that is unacceptable.
Tanks have to learn to use enough flash to counter 1 ticking DoT + healing aggro. That's not hard to do.
