It isn't my job as a tank to watch my threat. It isn't a DDs job to watch it's threat either.
If it is part of the boss mechanic - okay - otherwise I prefer snap aggro.

My job as a tank is positioning the mobs right, watching boss abilitys to move out of, move into, turn the boss, run away or counter with my cooldowns while using abilities to reduce the damage I take while watching out for adds to bind them on me. That is my job, not fighting for aggro against the DDs.

Usually: one mob in a raid that is not caster would one-shot everything that was wearing cloth and two-shot everything that isn't a tank.
