Can do this by targeting the tank, and pushing f key on the keyboard, or making an assist macro ( /assit "tank name").
Generally, you don't want to assist the tank, because the tank will likely have to switch targets multiple times to make sure to keep aggro on everything. Most groups usually assign someone else to be the Main Assist or MA for short. This is the person who decides what mob should be the next to die. That's the person you should be assisting, and you should make a macro button that automatically assists that person. Most commonly, the assist person is a rogue or spare warrior (in a raid situation), but the hunter him or herself can be an effective MA as well, since then all the other partymembers have to do is follow the bouncing arrow.
