air pet
taunt off
no spells cast
casted 2nd pet BEFORE the first one died and used /pet getlost when the cast was about to complete. (mob was around 60-70%hp remaining at this point)
2nd pet immediately regains aggro.

Perhaps i'm doing it wrong?? Do I need to reclaim or let it die first for the threat transfer?

I will have to test it myself, but It might be that the Air Pet's Stun Proc produces enough Hate to pull it off of you. I do recall the water pet struggle to pull the mob off. Also each subsequent cast seemed to build more and more hate making increasingly more difficult for each new pet to pull aggro.
