On live I thought distance decreased your aggro. Guilds often (in my experience) dependent on the target would ask all non-MA melee keep this gap and the tank would snuggle up close. Pretty sure that was all bunk but I never had issues with prox aggro when a mob was rooted in groups since this logic was hard-wired.
Fast forward to now I have a prox aggro /g hotkey I mash on named mobs when I root them (every time). People still just sit there and get destroyed. Warriors stand way back and struggle to take the hits.
