Warriors on raid content. Knights tank all group content fine/better than warriors.
Rampage is a special Attack many raid mobs and Velious mobs get. Basically, whenever it triggers a successful roll on rampage, that mob will execute a set of attacks (1-4) on another target (not the main tank). The target is determined by the earliest on aggro list. So if a monk aggros a mob first, then the warrior attacks, then a shaman slows, then a cleric heals. The rampage list would be Monk->Warrior->Shaman->Cleric. So long as the mob is alive, it will continue hitting the monk as rampage unless the monk dies, FDs or runs far away. If one of those occurs, next comes the warrior, however if he is main tanking he is skipped on the rampage list and the shaman becomes the player taking rampage damage. Basically it requires you to heal two tanks, the rampage tank gets hit less often and will require fewer heals but having a defensive rampage tank is important on raid mobs.
Pulling is more crucial because mobs are harder and you can't as easily kite, CC, offtank, or burn out a boss before the adds kill you. Which is exactly what you can do in Kunark.
Deftdance is only a parry disc, but on a class with fast Runspeed, 2 tick DA, snares, mezzes, lulls, they can single pull some incredible things. It's just another tool to be used in a pinch. It was more useful with Fading Memories, but the same can be achieved with CotH to clear aggro.
CoS is extremely boring to solo on a Necro as. PoMischief is a bit more interesting... But they are somewhat limited in what they can do in PoM.
