2.) Pick high ratio weapons: Damage bonus scales so at 60 an infestation at 9/18 will pull in a bit more swing-threat than a frostbringer with a slightly better ratio of 12/22. This is why I want to pull my hair out when people are main-handing a WESS on blue in 2021 with a frostbringer in their offhand. Just swapping that combo will pick up about 14% threat in ratio alone...not to mention your offhand does not swing at a 1/1 ratio of the mainhand. Gear to try and do some damage; don't just pick proc aggro or you will be living in a perpetual fight of catching up via RNG dice rolls. Not to mention one of the huge perks of a warrior tank is they actually do damage.

So in short: Cap haste, pick dps weapons with great aggro procs or at least decent dps ones with great aggro procs. Pray for RNG and let the dps die if the stuff is hard...that's on them. I'm skipping clickies and all the other stuff because this is already 500 words too long.
Okay everything that Snaggles said in his post was gold (frankly this should be added to the wiki as a Warrior aggro guide). The piece about the WESS in MH cracked me up, I ran across a couple warriors recently doing this and just shook my head. I tried to help them understand the futility of this setup but horses and water or something like that.

To the OP Snaggles last remarks sum it up.

Now someone add this to the wiki!
