My mistake, you were right. I could've sworn that they didn't heal under Steady.
But as for the topic, Selene definitely shouldn't be taking aggro just from embraces. Eos might with her whispering dawn though.

Eos with Fey Illumnation on an average item level of i118+ can heal for up to 14-1600 and yes I've seen it get agro but it will never hold it the heals aren't persistent enough as if you're not manually causing her to heal , she won't heal anything sub 80%
Eos needs no management, though I have her Macro'd in with my Physick so she heals whomever I am healing. But regardless of dungeon level, I have never ever ever taken aggro from a tank. That tank just wasn't even trying to take aggro off you at all.
http://faelandaea.com/technology/ - My computer specs - LOW END MACHINE!!! High end machine coming soon.
For the first four dungeons I honestly barely have to heal at all, maybe look at HP just to make sure, esp during boss fights and with new tanks, but most of that time I just sit in CS and let Eos do whatever. Every once in a while I see that Eos has stolen aggro, but usually the mob dies in time for her to not die.
If you really wanna heal as SCH in lower level, just don't bring out your fairy (but why....)
I look at low-level duties as excellent opportunities for new SCHs to practice advanced fairy management (e.g. weaning off of heal+embrace macros in favor of Embrace<mo>, using the fairy to precast heals and cover extended CS usage, placing and heeling at need, etc.).For the first four dungeons I honestly barely have to heal at all, maybe look at HP just to make sure, esp during boss fights and with new tanks, but most of that time I just sit in CS and let Eos do whatever.

^ That is true. No serious SCH should have Embrace macro'd to one of your heals. Have a <mo> <t> macro and learn to use it one who you need, when you need.
I leveled SCH almost solely through dungeons and class quests and Eos rarely pulled aggro. I have a vague memory of it happening once on a boss fight that was taking a long time, but I can't remember another instance of it happening. Eos is really overpowered though in lower level dungeons and if she had a DPS spell she could probably solo the whole thing.
The tank sounds really bad or really new. Fairyaggro is incredibly easy to deal with in low dungeons since Eos/Selene only heal when someone is <80%. A spambot healer who only uses cure/physick is harder to deal with, and they are a lot worse for a group in low dungeons because Eos and Selene don't really "overheal" (they do, but that's because their heal is OP as fuk in low levels, they just don't heal when you don't need it).
It doesn't really matter who is tanking what in low dungeons. Sastasha, Copperbell Mines and Tam-tara are quicker and easier when the tank focuses on DPS and Eos/Selene tank the mobs (as in, the mobs go to whoever and she'll probably take them with healing going on).
Just go Cleric and everything is cake.

Use sic for Selene to auto cycle buffs and obey for Eos and practice micromanaging them. If the tank can't keep aggro from the fairy then something is wrong from the tank perspective. Ask them to flash or overpower more if they are losing a few in the pack that aren't being actively burnt down. If they are losing aggro on a mob while doing thier aggro rotation, they need a gear upgrade (and I'd imagine the DPSers are doing most of the tanking at that point).
I'd highly recommend learning how to use Selene without Sic as well. Both fairies should be managed, even if Selene isn't nearly as awful on auto as Eos is.
