I haven't tested this personally, but you could probably check it out fairly easily on your own by making a quick mouse-over macro for Benediction, /ac "Benediction" <mo> I think. Target a mob your group is fighting, pop Benediction on a group member and monitor your threat bar to see if it spikes drastically.

The notion of "benediction pulling massive hate" might very well be an antiquated remnant of FFXI Benediction, which actually did more or less ensure that you would be tanking for the foreseeable future.

Failing that, I've noticed a lot of DPS like to yell at healers for doing their job correctly, so I wouldn't take it too personally. I got yelled at by a monk for applying dots while fighting trash on my SCH when the group was topped off and shielded. I guess I was supposed to just go AFK until someone took damage.

Ahh the days of Benediction tanking.../shiver. I remember in the macro for Benediction I would pretty much say booking for the zone now. Heaven forbid the mob zones after you. >.>
