Before you get harmony you can reduce pulling aggro radius with sneak. (also useful in indoor zones where you cannot harmony). Sneaking will reduce the assist and aggro radius of all mobs not facing you. You can pull from some groups without aggroing others with this tactic.
Also for a caster who gets a ton of aggro you can control aggro with root. Rooted mobs will attack the closest person who is on their aggro list. Just let the group know you are doing it (or let the tank know if there is a caster who can't control aggro and you don't want to embarrass them).
If you plan on soloing or being as multi-role as you can in order to get groups remember AC is King if you want to tank. AC HP should be your targets with str secondary. Or have two sets of gear to switch out into a pure dps mode with high strength if you know you won't be tanking. For starting I suggest jagged bands and then 6 ac 65 hp rings later or sooner if you have the money.
Good luck.
