Help out a healer?

On the subject of "keep the tank alive": As a WHM, you can toss anything without a cast time, such as Regen, on the Tank, while you're running.

Combined with Tint's suggestion to Sprint when the tank sprints, y'all should be okay -- unless you have one of those tanks that doesn't bother to mitigate dungeon trash, in which case, you're in for a rough time no matter what you do.

No, do not use Regen on a pulling Tank. Shields are a better option. Regen often causes Mobs to run straight past the Tank and directly towards the healer which then causes the Tank to do full turnaround to fish the mobs away from you.

Edit: scrap that, seems they fixed/changed that.

They changed regen to not give enmity.

Oh! Good to know! I had no clue. Guess i should start reading patch notes more carefully again.

You're only talking about cases where the healer casts the regen at the very moment of aggro; if launched before/during the pull, there are no more problems now.

Yeah they fixed that so it's safe to pop a Regen on the tank. Also remember if it's a WHM, they're a pure healer and limited on shields. First isn't until 66 IIRC.
