Dictate/Rapture has no aggro component ?

Well, so then this should be fixed?

there is no way Dictate/rapture should have absolutely 0 aggro component like they have right now, irrespective of hate generation?

If you cast a non-Charm, non-AoE spell on a MOB in train, from outside melee range, you're supposed to be able to single pull it.

Casting a spell (or using a ranged attack) on a MOB in a train gives you 100 hate on all those MOBs (assuming they are all social with each other). But the puller already has 120 hate at minimum, from getting initial aggro. The single target spell you cast only adds that extra amount of hate to that one MOB (aka, cast a 50 point damage spell on the MOB, you now have 150 hate).

Yeah I remember pulling singles from KC trains on my wizard, which always confused me that I didn't get on the aggro table of the rest of the train due to social aggro from that spell landing. IIRC this doesn't work here.

On here the whole "train passing close to you" without interacting is odd because you never really know if you got on the aggro list or not. Sometimes you're safe and sometimes they all come back for you. I thought all mobs checked for aggro every tick but apparently not.

Seems like it's the same as a dirty tag with standard tactics ie: Thin Boned Wand, Wand of Frostbolts - maybe leash range is a factor?

This is a tactic that has been used for ages, in my experience. Unless the mobs leash, when the person with initial aggro dies or zones, the train should come for you - are you saying that the kiter can zone and the train wont go after the mob?

Yes.

It's very easy to understand : if player B dictates / raptures into a pack of mobs that is being trained by player A, player B will be able to single pull the targeted mob out of a train that will never come back for it.

Player A can easily FD/Q his aggro, the train will completely ignore player B.

Effectively this grants enchanters an OP way to single pull mobs that isn't classic.

The train should go for player B as soon as player A drops the aggro.
