Do you even HAVE a tank?
Or even bother to read the thread?
Or know anything about tanking?

From reading his thread which he posted in the Brute, Tanker and Guide forums, I'd say maybe, no and no.

It's not even really a question of being healed/buffed enough. As long as there's not dozens of adds swarming, odds are nothing is going to attack you. The AV that sequesters you quickly loses interest.|

At this point, I just take the sequestration. It's not worth the effort doing the 'drop aggro dance'. I just hop back to make sure nobody else is caught in the circle and keep at them with my ranged attacks. Yes, it takes you out of play for a couple seconds, but so does running to break LoS/aggro. I use the opportunity to take a drink and organize salvage.

A few things I have noticed that have not been mentioned and might be helpful are:
When the two AV's have been pulled close together, do not tank standing between them. It is perfectly possible, especially if you forget to drop your taunt aura, to get simultaneous rings from both AV's and go from 1 ring to sequestered with no time to react.
As a Stone tank I am finding if I have my Teleport spot picked and it is good and far away, when I make a two ring TP I am almost certain not to drag the AV into pursuit. They will still sometimes take a last shot and sequester me, but won't follow up and finish me. Examples - past the Tennis Court nets, or out to the helicopter pad to swing back to ADDs.
I also have been trying to keep Rebirth Regen or Earth's Embrace available to use as soon as I get 1 ring. If I do get sequestered with either up I almost always survive.

I won't bother with any non Mo runs so the idea of 2 AVs together would be one of them things that I just won't have to worry about. I'd much prefer more opportunities for other people to get the Mo than farm the snot out of it.
Team should be on one side. Whoever has aggro turns the AVs back to the team. Whoever next has aggro turns the AVs back to the team and so on. The players without aggro are then oneside and people who get aggro keep it that way.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
