learn to love KLH threat meter, it'll save you many wipes.
Very true, but even with KLH, you have to learn to control Aggro. That might mean changing your style of play.
If you aren't using your imp to buff the entire party, you need to deploy your pet properly. You're Afflic, so it will be a VW. Have the leader mark the target for your VW as an off-tank and send him in.
Your primary DPS target will be the one that the main tank is on. Use your LEAST damaging dots first and build to the biggest. After the primary target is dead, switch to the next in priority. On Boss fights, use white damage only (wand) until the tank has 5 sunders, then you can start dotting it up.
Here's my normal sequence:
Amplify Curse/Send in VW, switch target to primary, CoA, Corr, Siphon Life, Unstable Affliction, Immolate, Life tap, Life Drain. Repeat as necessary. Keep an eye on the threat meter and slow down if it looks like you'll be pulling off the tank.
Check your VW every so often to see if it needs health funnel. The healers should be focussing on the tanks, not your minion. It's always nice when a healer can help your pet, but that's not his priority and you shouldn't count on it. Heal your pet yourself. A dead VW means you have to use another shard after the fight.
