I don't know....some people here don't seem to fully understand how annoying it is to have a healer put regen on you just as you Tomahawk a group of 3 mobs and have 2 of the mobs run right by you to the healer before you can overpower since your GCD is going and you cannot actually take any action.
People are also making the mistake that it is a "maintaining aggro" issue when it isn't. It is only a problem right at pull and having to chase the mobs because your GCD is going from your initial Tomahawk/Shield Lob/Unmend.
*some pulls in dungeons you can run up and facepull overpower and hit them all which is great (IE: first pull in Bardam or Doma), but the mobs are not always clumped enough for all dungeons or every pull for that to be an option.
I main healer but I've played tanks...therefore I NEVER REGEN a tank on pull when I am healing since I know how freaking annoying it is. Is the healer going to die? They shouldn't as long as you chase the mobs. Really freaking annoying for the tank though? Yes.
No beast gauge for Steel Cyclone? Great I have to chase the healer and the mobs and maneuver to try to hit the 2 runaway mobs with overpower while the healer is running around like a chicken. Other tanks maybe not as bad, their AoE aggro is a circle around them and doesn't have to be aimed. For WAR? You're wasting my GCD's and TP as I try to get hate on everything and made me chase you down.
I know some healers claim "well I come over to you!", but you have to remember not all healers who regen prepull do this for you (most I've seen make me chase them around) and you have to take into account server latency. I've seen a healer say "I come and stand near you, what's the problem?", but on my screen they are not keeping up with me and therefore the mobs are always out of my range.
So I have to turn around and run to them and try to overpower as they run by me and then overpower misses one of them and then I have to use another GCD and more TP again to overpower or tomahawk the mob I missed since with server latency the healer probably never succeeds to put the mobs where I need them for overpower.
The healers that do this also for me ends up being useless overhealing and then the regen is half gone by the time I even take any damage. Might as well have just waited for me to get all the mobs I am going to get instead of a regen that was just useless aggro because it was just overhealing no damage as I sprint.
TL;DR: As someone who has played WAR. The main problem with regening as a tank pulls is that it is ANNOYING for the tank. Once I hit everything once the healer won't have hate, but the problem with that is I have to hit everything at least once and 2/3 of the mobs run straight for the healer and I have to chase them now to get that one hit. We aren't going to wipe, but why be annoying just for useless overheal.
