First thing I noticed is that absolute only way for the pet to get aoe aggro is to use Misdirection, which obviously has a 30 sec cd and is far from usable every pull, not to mention it has an 8 sec duration, so trying to pull some mobs that don't stick together and then wait for them to jog to the pet, is going to make the timer run out before I can pull all I wanted.
Meanwhile, BM doesn't have this problem because it has Beast Cleave which is up constantly and the hunter's damage is too low for it to pull aggro off the pet, not to mention it also has Stomp for more aoe damage and threat.
So basically both my Exhilaration heal and Camouflage are kept on cd because I have to use them all the time to stay alive as I get hit by mobs after they drop aggro on my pet or just come straight to me, which is really annoying, not to mention any aoe killing requires jumping through hoops like dropping traps and binding shot. Meanwhile BM and pretty much anything else save mage, can just pull half the map and aoe it down.
Would it be so gamebreaking to give tank pets a a baseline aoe attack?
