I find that the best strategy for tanking Hyjal waves is somewhat different from what lots of people describe here. I found that Holy Wrath was not a very effective way to pick up the mobs and concentrate them. I always just made certain the first thing that aggroed a mob was my exorcism and then just led them into a consecrate. The casting time on Holy Wrath often led to issues because some mobs would get missed because they aggroed on something by the time the spell resolved and picking them up was challenging. With exorcism off the bat and backing up to the back of your consecrate you should have no issues collecting all the dudes and your other tanks can run ahead of you to grab guys without accidentally diverting the pack.
As for figuring out what the guys are targetting, Grid is huge here. I have aggro showing on my grid and it allows me to make sure that no one has aggro but tanks and to drag things back into the group before they get to the warlock who seeded just a few too many times.
The wave of 6 necros and 6 banshees always gave us trouble until I tried tanking the entire wave in full SR. I just run in and AS, exorcism, consecrate and try to take the whole lot of them and with 365 SR it was easy as pie.
