Seal of Command now "cleaves" 2 extra targets....

The big problem seems to be the 3rd or 4th mob on the aggro list doesn't like that I'm wailing on people and comes to beat on the elf, no matter how late in the pull it is.

That's not your fault. Really. That's us tanks being lazy and letting 'late targets' just have aoe threat moves build on them, instead of tabbing and using some of our formidable single target moves on them. There's a tension between doing than and the primary target. Depending on who is dpsing the primary they very well may pull it off in the 4-5 GCD's it takes to move around and hit each mob in the pack. Since there is more of a stigma with losing the "skull" on threat than the "circle", we tend to focus more on it.

The other day in (H)ToC with Conc along Bladestorming I had to revisit my old multi-mob tanking habits and tab-revenge, tab-shield slam, tab-heroic strike+devastate, etc... and then we had no issues as long as he waited to do it until the 2nd-3rd rotation. So if you're dying regularly tell your tanks to stop slacking and Shield of Righteousness/Shield Slam/Mangle/Rune Strike more than just the mob that's being dps'd. Good rule there is if you have ~70% in threat of it's total life pool, you can forget about it.

And, if it happens to be as bad as you think it will be (which rarely happens, bub), well, just think of DS as a repair button.
