Bear in mind that any healing done by the tank - earth shield, lifebloom blooms, prayer of mending, judgment of light, leader of the pack, etc - is subject to their threat mod of 1.5. A healer with bos & a -threat talent will have a threat mod of 0.56. Now, I don't know how you folks end up but our tanks will typically do about a quarter of the measured healing done by an actual healer with various self-heals. This leaves a relatively small threat difference to begin with and it's certainly plausible that on some fights you'll have done more than average self-healing which along with threat from rage gain effects (shield block, bloodrage), buff threat from shouts and so on makes you actually outpace healing threat. It wont be very common but having it happen every now and then isn't really shocking.
