The only time your stance should be on that soon as OT is if the boss auto attacks the #1 and #2 targets on aggro such as Leviathan savage. Otherwise, however, the OT should start the fight with their stance turned off and only turn it on around 30-45 seconds into the fight, which is enough time that both tanks will be completely finished with their opening burst phases and that by turning your stance on immediately after that point you will give the MT a large enough aggro lead that it is more or less impossible to rip aggro off of them.
Actually Ven is right and you are wrong. 3-5 GCDs after the pull is the perfect time to turn on tank stance. From there you will be second on the hate list for the rest of the fight unless something goes drastically wrong, at which point provoke and shirk are quick stabilisers
