Not sure what you mean here, I just tanked a full AK run after servers came up with clearing all trash as a paladin with mediocre gear and found hate absolutely no different from prepatch. My static team always cleared all trash anyway as we didn't use the death exploit, so we're pretty used to how it behaves. We run with Paladin tank, Monk, White Mage and usually a dragoon but had a Black Mage that run. We didnt' sleep anything and I aoe tanked all mobs without any threat issues at all.

Did you used to full clear prepatch? Maybe you're just not used to the damage spikes on some packs or your healer was pre-healing too much? I definitely didn't notice any difference.
