    Holding agro is moot if the tank dies.

    And they won't, provided they use cooldowns. People really have been overstating how hard these dungeons are. They aren't.

    And holding aggro isn't really something we have much trouble with, even before the buffs to emnity generation that came in 4.01. Yes our threat gen isn't what it used to be, but it's entirely adequate for current content. Let's face it: People use STR gear for bigger numbers, NOT because they are struggling with threat

    Unless you're partied with two red mages and don't use Overpower/Flash/Unleash respectively when pulling. I admit I haven't tanked since SB hit, but my go-to way of tanking is use the aforementioned skills 2-3 times depending on mob size.

    And usually ignore above mentioned skills.
