    guessing 5 mans. So you useing uldar epics thats 2 tiers back. If you get a good dps that is in full 232+ they will pull off ya they just have to watch threat. People any more are getting full 264 lvl gear and just farming heroics for frost badges so they will pull off ya. Not to much to say besides get better gear tell them to wait or just taunt every time they are about to pull off ya so you jump back over them in threat. Had a crappy tank do that to me in an icc pug once. I pulled had threat he taunt i just say oh well and pass him up. As i pass him up and about to pull off he taunts to pass my threat again. he did it non stop i tryed taunting one time and boss was immune to taunts i was like wtf. Anyways back on topic they are prob blowing cooldowns also on the bosses just to look leet while giveing you a hard time.

    Try using a SoComm build. Especially for AE this will never make you loose aggro. Regardless of how you are geared. Atleast that's my experience. Besides that it does great damage and allows you to speed up runs even more.

    toss out an armory. But if you was haveing problems when you was same gear lvl as everyone else it's only gonna be worst now.

    Well, I see you are allready into SoComm so I really don't know what would improve your threat other then coop with it and gear up. I still find it strange though as my tanking set is full of blues with a few ToC5 epics (iLevel 200) and I rarely loose aggro.

    Sorry I can't be of much assistance.

    What TPS do you actually do?

    Also, if you have threat problems, you can move talents around a bit. You don't need divinity for example, so could get more threat putting that elsewhere.

    First, Expertise Cap for tanks is 54 Expertise- 26 Expertise is the Soft cap.

    Next, you do not have Crusade in your build, which is often a large TPS gain, and you also have Divinity, which is usually worth overhealing. A more standard build (rather, the only PvE build) would be:

    For your third glyph, you could use HoTR or Seal of Comm (for Heroics), or AS if main tanking.

    0/53/18 is the current top threat spec for 3.3

    if you were wondering about glyphs, I go with judgement, SoV, and divine plea.

    It also looks like you have too much hit. Try getting rid of that and go for higher strength gear.

    Glyph of Judgement is pitiful for TPS.

    yup. what Ronark said. you can look up my armory by clicking my Signature, it's the same.

    but i think you lack threat because of your Pally's name :P

    Didnt read any of the other posts. You CANT hold threat as a tank in Ulduar gear against people in ICC gear.

    Fury warriors use Heroic Strike which is a HIGH THREAT attack, any Fury warrior in TOC or better gear will rip threat right off you.
