This isn't a "omg tanks do yer jerb!" Post I just like to know how tanks work in a new mmo before I say "this guy is a bad tank" lol. So I just have a few questions that maybe you tanks could answer for me.

Does anyone know if their is a threat ratio? In a previous MMO I played 1 damage = 1 threat.

How many threat abilities do you have including ST, AE, and Taunts. I only ask because I notice sometimes in dungeons tanks can't pick up adds off of DPS easily. Or is their simply a threat issue at the moment? I very rarely pull threat off a tank but if an add pops behind me sometimes its hard to shake him even after bringing him to the tank.

Again not trying to flame tanks just trying to educate myself a bit. please feel free to give me, as a healer, some advice if you think it would help in the tank healer relationship of the game.
