Pet aggro has never really been an exact thing either on here or live.
Sitting is something you never never never ever do. Sitting is how a necro regains aggro after he forgets to turn taunt off while kitting. It's been that way as long as I can remember on live, and I necro'd for a long time.
If you're pet tanking as an enchanter or mage, the pet will be doing most of the work. This means you hit ONCE to avoid the pet eating the experience, and then sit your ass down to med and do nothing else until the pet needs a heal. By then you should be able heal a couple of times without peeling aggro. Sitting down after these heals should make you nervous, and rightly so. This is because sitting generates massive amounts of aggro. Ask any guild that raids PoFear: "Do your casters sit during the break in?", I wager the answer would involve threatening to kick a player if they did that.
Sorry to say, but this is classic, and short of one of the devs saying something is off a bit, I'm going to say it's working as intended. You'll have to learn to adapt to the system. Aggro in EQ is a tricky thing to get used to, especially when working with pets.
