Sitting higher on the threatlist then estimated is too easy. Get one raider with Omen while the rest of the raid is on KLH, or the other way round, and you've got yourself unreliable threatmeters. And yes, this could happen to almost any raid. Lag is another issue, with meters updating late.
And you don't want to blow your vanish too soon, ever. If you've never ever reached the near top of the meters twice in a fight, you're basically not performing to the max of your ability. No matter if you're taking down Illidan twice a day then (no idea how to accomplish that on 1 character, but nevertheless), you're underperforming if you need too many vanishes because you blow them too early.

And taking aggro over the tank definitely is a problem, or you have no idea how tanking works at all. Tanks need rage to perform optimally. When you take aggro instead of the tank, that means the tank doesn't take damage, and isn't generating optimal rage, which in turn means that his abilities cost him more rage then he generates, which means gaining more aggor gets harder again.

But, I figure someone being pulled through BT while his guild doesn't notice how little a grasp he actually has about game mechanics, even after about 3 years of playing, would know better. It's that the owners of these forums took the word to a whole new meaning, to which I wouldn't compare you. Otherwise Elitist Jerk would've applied perfectly.
