Aggro management and you

Threatmeter, which GG linked below, had a pretty ingenious solution to this problem. Since exact numbers are known for skills/damage/healing, they have a "Knockback Discovery" method. Essentially, the mod keeps track of everyone's aggro and when the MT loses aggro to someone else, it knows how many knockbacks the MT has taken and the % difference in pure aggro (excluding knockbacks) from the MT and the new aggro target.

Run this many times over, and you get a more and more accurate result of just how much aggro is lost for each deaggro ability.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
