Hunter's Instance Role...

That said, the following surprised me:
I don't understand how mitigating damage to the tank is a bad thing.  If my pet can get above the tank on the aggro list, that's wonderful--give both the tank and the healer some breathing room.  The important thing is that the tank not overestimate the pet--if the tank manages the aggro as if the mob was attacking her, then the priest is safe if the pet dies. 

Now I can see this causing issues if the tank is drawn away from the mob that the pet has locked-down.

I know I don't fully understand threat management yet, nor do I understand the warrior's repitoir (mine's only 12).  Am I missing something?

When the warrior gets hit it generates rage, so if the pet draws the aggro if defocuses not only the healing from the warrior, but also rage generation.
