-Tell people that if they get hate, they should run TO the tank. Trying to save the dps in the back running around in circles will just make you lose hate from the rest of things.
-Shield Lob at the start is your friend to get some quick hate.
-Some DPS are actually quite capable with dealing trash mobs themselves. Sometimes it's just faster and safer to let them tank it, especially if they are geared.
Yeah, I run into this a lot. I get into dungeons with far more gear than the tank, and it's inevitable that I'm going to get threat on something even with marked targets. So I just end up tanking something, and tell the tank to not worry about it. I've gotten into dungeons with fresh tanks and I was i90 (90+ now). They have no chance in that scenario so I can't get mad about that, but I think I might be one of the few that doesn't get all up in arms because the dungeon wasn't completed in 15 minutes or less.
