Electrical Melee not working with gauntlet?

On my lvl34 Will/Electrical tank and noticing that even with taunt and auras running, the agro seems to slide off me like water off a ducks back.
Is this just my perception, or has anyone else noticed this?

I know Willpower is not great for holding agro, I have taunt, but it was taking multiple taunts and being in range for the agro to start to turn.

The only thing I can think of is if there were other tanks or scrappers on your team with taunt auras, or an AoE blaster that was ripping aggro from you. Or perhaps you were at the aggro limit?

Pretty sure one AV wouldn't put me at agro limit...

A blaster or scapper does have the potential to pull off gauntlet alone, but taunt should pretty much guarantee agro... Who was getting it?

Don't forget that to steal aggro, you have to generate twice as much threat as whatever already has the aggro.

A shield scrapper who starts laying down some heavy damage before you taunt can be very difficult to get the aggro from.

Also debuffs increase aggro over just damage, so a blaster or scrapper that applies a debuff (Dark, Katana/BS, etc) would also have an easier time stealing aggro over electric, since the -end is not a debuff as such.
