Mekgineer Thermaplugg random aggro?

Hi all,

I’m clearing the classic dungeons together with 2 friends of mine, so we are struggling a bit more sometimes as a 5-man group - hence my question here. The last dungeon we cleared was Gnomeregan. It was all easy until we reached Mekgineer Thermaplugg where I couldn’t hold aggro at all:

I’m playing a level 32 warrior, I charged the boss, my friends let me build threat for some seconds, I’m staying Battle Stance, pop Retaliate, start sundering but after some seconds I need heal, our healer, priest, starts healing me, the boss immediately turns around aggroes the priest, I, meanwhile in Defensive Stance, taunt him, sunder, sunder, sunder but the boss keeps randomly attacking hunter, hunter pet, priest, me, going completely crazy… the only time when he turns on me is when I taunt him, besides that Threat Plates (which is usually accurate) shows often negative threat values for me…

Why can’t I keep threat on this boss? Is this a built in mechanic?

Edit: I think he is resetting aggro when he uses his knock back attack, can anyone confirm this?

I’m sure it’s an aggro reset.
