After that initial threat I let them try pull agro and kill it roughly as they do - having stun / taunt ready. This is with max rank consec ticking on everything the whole up till at least most mobs are dead. Meanwhile I set up JoW and SoW on the next mob to get mana ready for the next pull immediately after the group is dead. This tactic is particularly useful for chain pulling instances that you as a prot tank as slightly overgeared for, and works very well for farming heroics with a group taht doesnt run on much mana (think 2x fury warr + enh shammy etc).

Common DPS ‘mistake’ I am seeing when tanking on my pally is that right after the Avenger’s Shield pull, DPS picks a mob and opens up - immediately drawing their aggro and usually beyond the boundaries of my consecrate.

DPS needs to hold off - perhaps even wait until the second Seal gets dropped then they can play catch up to their heart’s delight!
