This was an issue in vanilla as well. The best thing to do when a dps pulls aggro because they refused to let the tank have a few seconds to build threat is let them die. When they run away because they decided to run from the mob chasing them, let them die. I’d talk it over with the healer after the first mistake and let them know not to heal the dps if they pull threat. They’ll either learn from their mistakes or have a very high repair bill 
Should add in there for the tanks, they need to rotate through targets on a multi mob pull. As a Warlock, if I wait 5 or so seconds to start putting DoTs on other targets. I should not be pulling threat.
Also there is a thing called “pooling rage”, so when you pull the next pack you’re not starting from and empty tank.

People run… away from the tank? I don’t think I’ve ever thought “oh, I have an enemy on me, better run from the guy meant to fix that”.

Yes, pooling rage is excellent. If you’re blowing all your rage on getting threat back on a mob with 10% health, you’re wrong.
And yes, spreading the love is a huge deal in tanking.

this aint my main
New to classic what I notice is warriors can’t rly get aggro fast, so I just attack whatever they’re on and wait sometime before multi shoting. If the tank is weak or some mobs marked then pet can tank 1.
If it’s paladin or Druid they can aoe pull well so just multi shot away. Also if I have pld blessing then just go ham.
Also to tanks, I think there’s no need to chase down and hold aggro on every last single mob. Rogues, hunters etc can manage 1 mob or a low hp mob themselves veeery easily. They got lots of tools to deal with a single mob. Only cloth wearers are very squishy. Alot of tanks have a mentality of “I need to have aggro on every mob” but if no one dies it’s not that big of a deal.
Really thats just tank ego. We don’t want to share our aggro. We are best tank evr.
