You need to be defense capped not the pets. But yes keep the pets behind you so they will respond to the attacks against you.

If that's your problem, learn to taunt on the move. Preferably while doing a boingy-boingy hop/skip/jump so as to add some vertical distance if you're trying to limit AoE Splash radius spilling over onto your Pets. As you're no doubt aware, Pets have a "lag" in terms of distance/leash to you when you move ... as in they don't "fly in formation" with you the instant you move. Use that movement lag of your Pets to your advantage by being IN MOTION when you open up with Taunt/Provoke to begin your battles as this will normally give you enough separation to not catch your Pets in whatever AoE(s) get thrown your way, while at the same time keeping those same Pets within Supremacy range so as to make use of Defensive+Follow to enable Bodyguard Mode damage sharing.

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
Bots/Time softcapped to everything.
Teleport Self into spawn so henchmen open up at range. Spawn attacks you, no Provoke or Taunt needed since Times Juncture pulls aggro while flooring their ToHit.
Tankerminding redefined.
Oooh. Nice idea, especially the teleport self part. Most of my MM's have that power so I can explain to myself in my MM's story where it is the pets are materializing from.
