That's a rare circumstance that in my opinion is not worth changing your whole talent spec over.

In hellfire ramps on the dragon boss i pulled off of a lvl. 61 pally tank in full epic gear by healing. I used riptide to heal the tank and pulled and then held agro for about 10 seconds before the tank could pull th dragon off of me. So i was wondering, would it be ok to spec into healing graces to reduce my threat? Right now im using the spec recomended for healing in the stickies; i have the BoE cloth armor and other green and blue drops from runing randoms. Thanks for any advice!
On ramparts, Nazan's aggro table is active from the start of the fight(with the orc). Any healing you do draws Nazan's attention.
I used to have the problem all the time on heroic in TBC. The tank would take forever to pick up the mob. The only way to prevent you getting gibbed is for the tank to taunt the second Nazan lands. No amount of threat reduction will help because the tank isn't hitting Nazan during his air phase at all.
Edit- Also, if it starts running at you, hit it with wind shear.

all in all, that happens alot when u get higher aswell, just run/use frost shock while at it and cast riptide on urself. If u die, flame the tank. U do not need any threat reduction talent :)

I found after this happening a lot just to stand behind him. It gives you that bit longer for the tank to get agg.

Not that I'm a pro or anything, but wouldn't it be better to throw down an Earth Bind and Wind Shear whatever is running at you? I get the point of kiting the mob, but I feel like using a spell that "Causes a high amount of threat." to do it is counter productive.

I have the most annoying issue when healing sleeping, or badly geared tanks in heroics. Often mobs will slip through, and the tank won't think to pull them off me - no, I have to go stand next to them and hope the mob gets peeled off me by AoE. So on further pulls i'll stand next to the tank and eat some cleaves, OK not really a problem. But if the mobs happen to interrupt... uh oh.
