IMO the whole aggro thing should be ingame to begin with. Or you could solo grind with an alt toon thats a Master Doc/MasterCM and heal you till the cows come home while u grind.
Of course it should. And being that it looks like SOE has gone the route of the more traditional MMORPG with the CU, I think it's going to stay.

In the avatar platform we found allowing 1 player to enter the room and then backing out of the room, getting the mobs inside to follow him, was an excellent way of dealing with some of the tighter spots (like the central core).

What is a tank supposed to do when he is attacked by 3-4 ranged fighters spread accross the room? Only swordman has an area taunt and it is only useful if they are close by.
Move to each of them and hit them with a melee attack which makes them switch to melee too (do this "one by one" to pick them all up), works like a charm for me on for example the Avatar Platform. In the DWB however you do not want the tank to have to tank every single mob of a room anyway as it gets kinda tough to tank multiple mobs of such a high level, there you want people with mezz-abilities (cm paralyze, smuggler concussion shot, jedi stasis) to take as much mobs out of combat as possible so that your tank ideally has only to deal with one or maybe two mobs at a time.

I noticed something interesting this weekend. SO i was killed and my status went back to on leave meaning i couldnt heal combatants. However when I attempted to heal a combatant I got the invalid message plus i picked up an aggro. Im almost sure thats not how it supposed to work but just wanted to make sure

That was strange, might have been a freak considence. Should try having a combatant pull aggro with say 100 damage and then allow an on-leavedoctor to heal him when he has taken some damage to see what happens.
Tip: you can go combatant in the field by doing /drag on any combatant, it works like old-style heals. Think all heals are supposed to work like that in the future (mentioned during the fan-fest I think).
