I posted my thoughts about warrior aggro in another thread, but thought I would contribute this:

so apparently evade was damn near an aggro wipe until then.

Good find, and it backs up what our memories recall. Though I don't think it was a complete aggro wipe I think it just put us at the bottom of the list, instead of a couple notches down the list.

Either way this needs fixed!!!!! Can a developer confirm it will be fixed? Thanks

Evade is not meant to wipe aggro completely, just drop you to the bottom of the list of players with "earned aggro" (ie aggro generated by heals or damage). It is not doing this in the slightest right now.

If i evade successfully and stop attacking, the mob shouldn't hit me again until the tank dies. Period.

Pending update:

Fixed bug with evade that caused it to not work in some situations.
Modified evade to act like VI described it before it got nerfed in those patch notes.

I wish I could give you a hug.
