Here's something that p99 players don't do that players in 99-2001 did do.

Wait before you debuff, start backstabbing, etc.

As a rogue main on Live from 2000-2002, that was the marching order. Wait for the tank to build aggro through white damage (typically wait until mob is 95-98% HP) before you start auto attacking. It was standard procedure in groups.

Same goes with debuffs. If you cast a slow while the mob is at 99% HP, you're going to pull more threat than the warrior can make up for in a short time.

Having played a warrior recently in groups, going from 1-50 - I have never had a problem with aggro. Granted, I'm using a Swiftblade of Zek in mainhand - but it's enough white damage to generate enough to out-threat the shaman.
Agro isnt that big of a deal from 1-50. maybe starting 40ish-50 it becomes necessary for the tank to build agro, but til then its not really an issue.
