I like pulling with siphon strength on my SK and then firing a DC so that the cap on initial aggro doesn't limit my DC and cause the rogue's first backstab/the shaman's slow/whatever to pull off of me. Not a big deal though, since DC is only on a short cooldown anyway and SV isn't too expensive to cast between DCs if you need extra threat.

Good for mentioning the hate cap on initial aggro. Lot of folks don't even know about it. Good reason to pull with Siphon Strength when you're level 9 and Disease Cloud is the only real aggro spell you have: If you pull with DC, you're building virtually no aggro and it's on cooldown for a crucial ~6 seconds while other folks get aggro and you can't do much of anything about it. Use a throwaway spell (or an arrow) first then follow up with Disease Cloud. That'll build you far more hate. Or you can tell the local Shaman to pull with slow.

This. That's basically it. Disease cloud is crazy aggro. Shadow Vortex is great aggro once you get it, and you should cast it on every mezzed mob that you're about to attack. Hit em with some shadow vortex, taunt, hit em with that disease cloud.

I think it's better to use Taunt first. Taunt does nothing if you already have aggro. Using it first gives you a better threat lead when it works and is no difference if it fails.
