Why do you think you should get aggro from someone who has tanking stance and dps gear when you have same stance and tank gear? Ofcourse he's going to pull aggro from you because of the higher dps from his gear and then 'cause that same gear he cannot take the hit and your healer needs to heal like crazy....just sounds like a really bad way to manage ops. Little more dps would be nice since shieldtechs damage is pretty lousy compared to other tanks, I haven't had any problems with holding aggro in any Ops(got columni and some rakata gear) and mostly even heat is not a problem so I would say that the lower dps than other tanks is more of a pvp problem not pve.
