I respecced to Pyro for shits and giggles to PVP a little yesterday, and randomly got into a BT HM group as well. Even waiting a solid 10 count to dps and using Chaff Flare on CD I managed to pull aggro on every boss several times. And this off a Jugg tank in Columni/Rakata gear. I was wearing my PVP recruit/battlemaster healing gear still.

I was using the same priority system mentioned in the OP for Pyro, but I did have a slightly different spec, since I was looking to PVP mostly. I took Gyroscopic Alignment Jets instead of Automated Defenses (don't usually live long enough in PVP for AD to be useful). But I wouldn't think that would make any difference at all.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Pyro opening- incendiary missile dot, Thermal Detenator, Rail shot, Unload Rail shot (if proced) A lot of damage in a very short period of time at the start of a fight can pull aggro pretty easily

and on a side note ive done quite a bit of testing with pyro today to see if its a viable option, and what ive come to is

Best i can do on a target dummy is sustained 1250-1300 dps which is very difficult to maintain a small mistake can put your heat over and cause problems.

Arsenal i still do 1350-1400 dps in arsenal with easier rotation and more lead way on heat. With how little movement is required i see Arsenal as the better spec still for the current content (on top of providing 20% armor reduction)
