You can't keep hate vs pets at the lower levels because you just don't have the skills to keep hate from them without having capped stats from synced down. It doesn't not help you climb up the chain of levels when you don't have the best gear and limited rotation.

Arcanist are *not* group tanks or off tanks. They are DPS and need to stick to their roles. Tanking on arcanist/smn is perfectly fine for solo, not dungeons. (Unless your group is dying to trash mobs)
