Not only are we fighting latency issues and lag and just plain old poor synchonization between where the server says the critter is and where the client thinks the critter is, we are also fighting aggro bouncing. Let the main tank hold aggro. If you are off-tank, manage your aggro so the critter isn't constantly flipping between you and the tank especially if you two decide to be on opposite sides of the critter. If you are an off-tank, make sure to stay on the same side of the critter as the main tank so if you do happen to take aggro, you aren't screwing over your backstabbing/ambushing rogue.

This is where my having partnered with a rogue in EQ is a big help for me when I'm with a rogue here!
What I love watching, though, is when I'm with two rogues... and they act in unison as an off-tank, bouncing the aggro back and forth between them so one of them is always behind the mob. It's a thing of beauty... ;)
