It might have changed in the mean time, or I might remember it wrong. Can anyone confirm?

I just did a basic test in the Cenarion Thicket with some of the Vicious Teromoths there under the assumption that if Soul Leech did produce threat, then a significant heal from it would be able to pull a Teromoth off of my Voidwalker.
So, I sent my Voidwalker to strike a Teromoth one time, which he did for a crit of 262. I also struck the Teromoth with my staff for a hit of 169. I then walked around the thicket and opened fire on other Teromoths with Shadowbolts until I got a decent amount of Soul Leech procs; I stopped after I got around 6 procs, three of them in excess of heals of 1000. At no point did the Teromoth on my Voidwalker ever attack me. Even factoring in threat reduction from Destructive Reach, which I'm not sure would even apply to Soul Leech, it would appear that Soul Leech heals do not produce threat.
I repeated the test on the Dreadfang Lurkers in the area, because I noticed that the Teromoths had a Wing Buffet ability, and I wasn't sure how that might have affected my results. The test with the Lurkers led to the same conclusion: that Soul Leech does not create threat.
Of course, if my basic assumption is incorrect, then the conclusion is flawed.
