Shadow knight aggro

I'm basing this only on my own experience trying to rip aggro with ensnare in slot one using a GCD compared to flame lick. Often for general running around I'll have snare up and not flame lick. In one instance it took like 8 snares to peel a HoT mini on to my ranger once the warrior dropped.

I havent done much grouping with my SK on p99. On live Clinging was my workhorse and seemed to be ok. It's technically just not nearly the hit that an AC debuff is like Shadow Vortex. Even for a warrior that uses proc weapons limited to the "max threshold" the snare whip proc is rather low compared to say a Frostbringer. This is likely a case for people to just gauge as they go, I really doubt most sks can keep aggro primarily using Clinging off a geared rogue at 60. Good to have a few big spell taunts on the bar just incase you need them.

Yeah I typically have Clinging, Shroud of Hate, and Shadow Vortex on bar so I have enough spells when needed. Clinging costs less, so it's good to use if you just barely lost agro due to white damage. Shroud of pain can be put on bar too, but it costs more mana than all the other spells, so I only do that if I really need to.
