Some help for a noob

and HSing? You stay the hell off the HS button if you're not MT.

Mmhmm. Unless you're trying to stay 2nd(ish) on the aggro chart to cover if the MT goes down. But if the MT goes down, the problems tend to run much deeper than grabbing aggro :)

Well, we often have someone designated as a backup for the main tank on several raid-level fights so that everyone knows where the heals should be going if the MT goes down, and that warrior usually engages just a second or two after the MT to begin generating aggro. Since for all I know Lissa was that person at that time, the extra arguments don't really apply too much. Generally, while that warrior should be in battle stance unless the MT does in fact go down, they should also be building aggro as much as they can while maximizing DPS so that they are in fact the next target. The difference between battle stance and defensive stance is the barrier which prevents them from accidentally stealing aggro from the MT.
