I use rescue on pull all the time. I can hit a mob for 4-6k on pull with a bow, and it won't care. They sometimes even shrug off rescue.

Aggro is also worst at the beginning of the fight when dispatch, hostage, etc. is going in. I rarely lose aggro deep into the fight, and I don't even have Trak's shield. Rescue is only going to hold off a great parser a second or two. You're either holding aggro off them, or you're not. When you're talking about 1-6 minute fights, even reinforcement isn't going to do you much good if you can't keep up with your dps.

Also, losing aggro may very well mean a wipe. I don't see the point in waiting for the thing to bolt over towards the raid. It'll probably be out of range until it stops to pound on people, and by then, it could be too late. One range-based AE can put 25-75% of the raid on the ground.

I establish aggro solidly and then let them worry about themselves. If they have to use a Trakanon's Gaze macro, then that's what they have to do. What I try to make sure of is that any loss of aggro isn't my fault.

If you use the 40% reuse disc, then hit reienforement on inc.. you have solid aggro lock for 12 seconds to build up aggro, and reienforcement will be back up before you need it again... or get your defiler to RoA you on inc.

Using defensive minded before reinforcement is pretty silly, especially since most people have AA's in it already bringing it down to 1:50 casting which is already at its cap for how fast it can go off, your better off using it before your CA cycle or in the last 20 seconds of guardian sphere.

Cap is 1:30, and defensive minded at the start is obvious anyway to bring all your CA back faster.

Falken

if you have your ca order right and time auto-attack correctly you should never need reuse to have "something" to use betweek autos.

Ixer

While yes, if you time everything it works that way, but still nice to hit Defensive mind at the start of the cycle and get decimate, percise strike and sentinel strike up sooner.

Useful if your trying to dps. However, I save it for when i need the extra avoidance to stay alive, aggro is hardly an issue aside from a badass sk OT. But ever then I do fine keeping aggro.
