Hybrids easily outtaunt warriors if they have half a brain.
Rangers - Taunt, Flame Lick, Kick, Beg, Snare, Taunt. That mob'll be on you the whole fight.
SK - AC tap, Taunt, Beg, Disease Cloud, Disease Cloud, Taunt.
Paladin - Taunt, Stun, Beg, Root, Flash of Light, Stun, Taunt.
What can a warrior do?
Taunt, Kick, Beg... Taunt, Kick, Beg.

This is a very useful spell. And I'm not sure if many people know this, but this spell pisses MoBs off more then pretty much anything else you get. With disease cloud, a SK can out-taunt pretty much anyone in the game and live (sure wizards can use some huge DD spells, but will they live to tell about it?). Taunting is extremely important. It keeps the cleric alive, and if you want to see some real damage use this and taunt constantly while a rogue gets behind it and backstabs.
The other benifit is that it stops / slows regeneration, and lasts a LONG time. Very good when you think you're about to lose sight of a MOB somehow (like losing crocs in the Oasis water bug), and you don't want it to come back with 100% health later.
At higher levels this spell flies out, and 10 mana is reall insignificant =)

Heart Flutter This is a triple threat spell. It not only weakens your opponent and lowers their armor class but it also does damage over time.

Taunt mobs off casters : Use your flame lick spell, fast cast, MAJOR taunt, low mana cost... And reduces AC too, just my 2 p. I know that that is a low lvl spell, but believe me, i can agro kit any mob, even if there are 2 wizzies in group if i cast flame lick continuously. Snare is good too, but costs much and is slower, so in case of emergency, use flame lick, and never hesitate to root a mob who hates your caster and take a few secs to build hate : snare , flame lick X2, an arrow between each spell recovery, and a nuke to break the root, and if the mob is really more intelligent than his friends ( sometimes happens

Creating aggro for me? NO problem: Snare. The beasties hate it. Flame Lick. They hate that just as bad. For some reason Flame Lick creates more hate than just about any other dot until you get into the Taunt. Lots of it. All the time. Journeyman's Walking Stick. Procs Tashani, which creates a HUGE amount of aggro. Really pisses em off.

Flame Lick. AKA: Instant Aggro. I hunted Slavers in Crushbone with a full group and
dropped this on one of the buggers. No amount of taunting from the warriors, pets beating on the thing, or cleric heals got the slaver off of me. My ranger has this too and for pulling it is awesome. Also try this: root the mob, drop Flame Lick and kite. By the time root breaks you have a very mad but

I really could keep going for days but at this point I don't think it's necessary
