I am guessing that was from hunters that picked bad choices of pets during the frist phase that hunters were out. With the choice I had made at that time (first a deviate raptor and then Humar the Pridelord), I was able to have a pet that could tank two mobs simultaneously and live through it at about 30% life remaining. A major eye opener to many that Chaku had partied with at that time.
As for your pulling the aggro off of Taunshu's pets; that usually happened when I had turned off Growl and sometimes hit a Cower to pass the aggro onto another (myself or a tank) that still had plenty of hit points to absorb damage. From playing certain tactical board games in the past, it was mor important in them to have all units damaged but surviving than it was to have say 5 undamaged units and one destroyed one. The repairs were far easier than a replacement (often there was no replacement possible). so in my opinion have anyone that serves as an expected off tank not ever getting hurt in encounters is a waste of abilities; similar to seeing say a paladin die with a full mana bar. so it does not bother me to have one of the lesser mobs beating on me for a bit if it allows better safety overall and concentrated firepower on the main target at the moment.
