Maybe I'm just over-thinking it. But thank you for the advice.
I flopped most of my reforges back over to dodge to test out this evening if i was just having an off night.

On the first few seconds of the fight, aggro is an issue currently, but only then.
With little to no expertise & hit, bad RNG can mean you'll miss the first mangle (or god forbid, even the second one), and with no stacked up vengeance, everything hits for much less.
Seems to me you should either ask your DPS to hold on a little bit more, until you manage to get atleast the first mangle through, get some misdirects at the first few seconds, or try berserking right off the bat.
If all those fail, or not possible, getting some expertise is the last resort.

If you have your maul still macro'd to your other hits, this might be the cause. If you're getting rage starved, maul should be the first to go, and you should use it manually when you have too much rage to dump.
Also if your rage is below 20 before a pull, you can try shifting out-in for furor (you can shift out while casting thorns, for nice AoE threat to mobs that hit u), enrage, let the debuff fade, and get in.
