Krashenk doesn't pull aggro, he off tanks. :):P
Actually I don't think Krashenk has pulled aggro on a boss while the tank was alive. I've done it on trash mobs. When you get windfury procing on both hands (my gear it still does more sustained damage than rockbiter or flametongue) right after/during a stormstrike + earth shock, well the damage spikes a bit. :) And I'm still in pretty sub par gear at 61, but I'll get MH WF procs that crit around 1.2K, OH procs around 600, and with the Storm strike debuff up earth shock can crit for over 1K as well. So I can in about 3 seconds put out 700 (MH normal crit) + 1200 + 1200 + 350 + 600 + 600 + 700 + 350 + 1000. That is MH normal crit, double crits from the MH WF, OH crit + 2x WF crit on the OH, Crits from both hands on Stormstrike, and an earhshock crit. Sure that takes the mob being fully sundered, Unleashed rage proc up, my SoE totem, and the warriors battleshout buff and I've never quite had that many crits to hit that 6700 number, but I've done over 5K with a sequence like that only limited by the global cooldown. I don't think I get the benefit that warriors in battle or zerker, or the base for rogues and cat druids on getting less aggro per damage point either. So a burst like that is big time aggro.
On bosses since I wait a bit to start in with a stormstrike or earth shock and since I'm generally in a more hybrid gear set so that I can be a more effective spot healer I don't have as high of a potential for that kind of spike, the warrior has a longer lead and more rage to work with as well. But it's a lot of fun to try and push the shaman and see if I can keep up with the other DPS classes. :) I just don't have some of the benefits of dropping the aggro.
Of course with rogues and druids and caster shammy around I don't get to use my own stormstrike charges a lot. They get eaten by poisons or wrath or lightning bolts, but that's generally not a big deal. Heck it's better if wrath or a lightning bolt eats over my earth shock. :)
But I get to play with good druid and warrior tanks all the time so I don't worry too much either. :)
