Basic Principles for WHM - What and what not to do.

[Sebazy]

Where does that thought come from that you can only take damage while having aggro?

Because avoidable AEs tend to be infrequent enough (Or sufficiently easy to avoid) that on most pulls and bosses, regen is plenty enough to keep them going unless they are sitting there patently ignoring everything. Frankly if I'm with a pair of melee DPS that are bad enough to eat every last avoidable AE, then I suspect I'd be better of letting them die and just doing the DPS myself
