Question yourself: "Am I holding aggro? Yes? Ok im performing my duty. Am I not holding aggro? Yes? Then I should look a little more into what I am doing wrong."
Assuming good cooldown usage, not much has changed in terms of tank survivability (besides stuff hitting harder), so I'm not sure what you're saying about having issues to keep them alive?

I really wish people would stop saying that. Yes, the DPS has been lowered. But guess what? Tanks can still do an upward of 2.5k DPS or so. I've never even hit that high on a tank, so why would I be complaining about DPS parses? Take a look at this if you're actually interested in why we're upset.

If nothing changes, aggro (specifically on trash) will become harder to hold in the future (note that neither WAR nor PLD got enmity buffs on their AoE skills), because DPS are getting damage from both their main stat and substats. Now DPS do have CDs to manage enmity, but I wouldn't expect pugs to use them.
