Sanz this is the blue post I mentioned tonight.

Some thing's other bears have suggested as fixes:
- Dps trinkets. Cres is running a survivability legendary might be worth switching if he has something with a dps proc.
- switch to Satyr neck enchant. Higher proc rate therefore more consistent threat generation
- use dps based relics where possible not survivability. Obviously not to the point of dying but cres doesn't die often so he could probably exchange some surv for dps. I'm not sure relics are the place to do it since that is pretty permanent. Just something others have suggested.
- Finally, always having the bear pull and have the other tank "hang back" so the bear doesn't have to try to out threat the other tank.
Hope this helps a little???

Thanks!
The only boss we've had problems with is Krosus. No idea why, but it's almost like I can pull threat just by standing there, with the occasional Cresc pulling threat off me by doing 'normal dps.' We haven't talked about having him pull on Krosus, which would definitely help start things off right (though my DPS would go down and then Anvil would tell me that 'tanks do DPS now' and I'd feel all crushed because Luvalot outheals me and then I'd jump off the bridge by running in a different direction, but that's a different story...)
Here's what usually works for us:
- I pull, pop wings, dump a bunch of threat (and a wee little DPS) on Krosus. Cresc taunts at four.
- I back up out of melee range and spam heals on myself. Fortunately I do not need to enable my holy spec to heal myself. ;) Shifting to mid-range changes my threat threshold from 110% to 130%, and that's always been safe from threat theft.
- Once the stacks drop off or there's a slam, I run back in and "do stuff"
It generally works pretty well. I've stopped DPSing when I'm OT because I've pulled with an errant shield toss during my spam healing, and that should //not// pull aggro from Cresc. Ever.
If we flip it with Cresc pulling, not sure if it would help. The threat problem is every time not just his first taunt. Hmm...
