Why not provoke and toss a few shields, if it's anything but regen or whispering dawn then you will have control. I'm kinda shocked to see 2 pages of replies and the only real answer given was use bloodbath.

'Use Bloodbath' is bad advice as the healing it generates doesn't actually cause agro.
None of the self heals generate aggro. You can test it out yourself by having a buddy poke an enemy and then using Second Wind or Inner Beast: the first won't have you generate any enmity at all and the second won't generate any more enmity than you'd get out of the damage normally.

When things go wrong this does nothing.
I've had some triggerhappy players on Ultima HM recently.
I went in with Fight or Flight, Shield Lob, Fast Blade, Spirits Within, Savage Blade, Circle of Scorn, and before I could use Rage of Halone Ultima turned around and went for one of the healers.
As soon as it turned I used Provoke, followed by a few Shield Lobs which would make Ultima turn to me for maybe 1 second before hunting healers again. (yes, Shield Oath is always up ^^)
Only after waiting for another Provoke+Shield Lob, I was able to grab solid hate.
What do we learn from that?
Healers shouldn't panic and in case of drawing aggro, they should move to the tank and not run away from him. ^^
This all day long! Healer (or DPS for that matter) steals hate instantly voids bladder and runs like a Pope in a brothel. The best way for a tank to get hate off you is to stack on or near him/her then run away AFTER s/he gets hate back
I play for fun, if you don't like it don't play it.
Provoke/lob might fix it and is probably the best choice as a reaction. That being said I'm sure the dps had skills incoming and probably didn't bother to slow down "that much". It always boggles the mind when something like this happens and suddenly its the entire party fighting for aggro and not just the SCH/Fairie who derped. lol.
I can't pull a second shieldlob in time (GCD), because Garuda is reaching the SCH so fastly. When Garuda hits him, he will cast heal and so will his fairy, gaining more enmity. I did provoke her, but still could not get Garuda's attention. Provoke will only generate enmity +1. So it's pretty hard to gain aggro when this happens.Provoke/lob might fix it and is probably the best choice as a reaction.

Mobs love fairies! When that happens to me I have to make Eos obey the next attempt because they will bust out an aoe buff or regen as soon as the tank pulls sometimes. I would think you still should be able to get it back though, even if you have to provoke.
You heard it too, didn't you? the voice... of the wind....
