I usually don't have too many problems going through my normal rotation on my bear, whether it be the swipe/maul spam in aoe situation or the normal rotation in a bossfight. However, in either big aoe pulls or boss fights with adds, sometimes an add gets away from me.

What is the best way to get that add taunted quickly? I have VuhDo which tells me who is pulling aggro, but I think that I need to select the mob aggroing, not the person being aggroed, in order to reliably taunt it. And I need to be able to do it quickly without:
1.) turning my back from the boss or gazillion adds
2.) trying to find the one mob amongst the 15 melee'ers and the 10 other mobs, and their various bright and flashy spell effects, without wasting much time, as I still need to be spamming swipe and maul, etc.

Is mouseover macros (that don't switch your primary target to the taunted mob) the trick? Is there a way to make the aggro bars on VuhDo and the click casting that VuhDo enables help one out here?

To be honest, I'm not sure the functionality your looking for is possible (limitation in the Blizzard API). I can think of a few ways to kind-of-sort-of do it but you would need to code an addon in order to do what I'm thinking.

The closest thing your going to get is the following macro:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=targettarget] Taunt

Basically what this macro does is taunt your target's target. For example, if a Mage was pulling aggro and happened to be targeting the mob that he/she pulled, then it would taunt that mob. However if the Mage isn't targeting the mob he pulled, then the Macro breaks.

My other idea is to re-roll pally. Righteous Defense ftw.

I use nameplates combined with a large zoom out factor where possible, since it gives you a heads-up on which mob you should focus your anger upon.

Other than that... if it's already behind you there's not much you can do beyond shuffling around the entire mess of mobs till you face the stray without being hit in the back a million times per second.
