So it's likely a warrior who you're experiencing with will have dirt ratio weapons in favor of spikey proc-based agro weapons. This means you'll pull agro with just pure melee most of the time if you engage at 100%. I like to wait till 98% before hitting the mob at all to give the warrior a lead. I turn on auto, evade, then I figure out what % the mob's health needs to drop before my first BS won't give me agro. This can be 96, 95.. Worst case 90%. Then, barring chain evade fails, you won't pull agro for the rest of the fight, or really the rest of the group if you can figure out that specific percentage and your tank is awake. Monks work similarly.

If you do happen to pull agro:
  • Try to evade after mob swings
  • If evade fails, turn attack off. Wait for another evade chance / taunt
  • Take a small step back in case mob is rooted
