Is this common? It's getting annoying...

I don't think you read the topic. No one is pulling off of me. They are pulling before I even do the initial pull. And I do mark targets. I open with tamahwak, then follow up with 2 overpowers, or a flash and overpower, or 2 flashes, depends on the mobs and whether I think I can get them all in the cone of overpower. I face them away from party and maintain aggro on each of them. On the very rare case one gets away I do tamahawk, and provoke only if tamahawk isn't enough. Most of the time I never need to do this.
