I went on live to play around a bit too. I noticed a few things regarding the mechanics.
1) The call for assist only occurs when you damage or do something to increase your aggro with the mob, however social and proximity aggro do still apply.
2) Vindi calls assist to his guards and vice versa.
3) The assist call has a distance check, if they're separated too much, the assist call to the distanced mob will fail. I had Vindis guards separated and I would actually see Vindi appear on my aggro list then disappear again every time I damaged the guard. Distance was roughly from the ice wall to the ramps up to arena. I walked the guards to the ice wall
slowly and then I got close enough for the assist call to actually work.
