Calibix's hunch is probably backwards with respect to the Shadow Knights, however. Disease Cloud has a recast timer and also isn't always desirable to use. As such, a Shadow Knight relies Disease Cloud exclusively for tanking will be fairly mediocre.

Its been quite awhile since I played an SK personally, but I'm fairly certain Disease Cloud is still your best bet for agro. Its recast is only 6s, which is negligible considering the amount of agro it generates. But your right, its not perfect for every situation, but it is the bread and butter agro skill for SK's.

I only started playing P99 about 2 months ago, so I was unaware of the FoL situation. Just in my experience on P99 I have not seen a single paladin hold agro well so it was mind boggling to me.
