For at least a month now bosses will randomly walk away from their tank in raids and then come back to them as if they've lost aggro, often in times where there isn't even anybody in the direction they are walking towards as everybody is stacked up - such as fights like Mursat Overseer.
I don't mind waiting for small bugs to be fixed over time but this can make a pretty big difference to a group, bosses like VG can walk into the wrong section and spawn an unaccessable green or simply losing large amounts of DPS because a boss moves out of where it is supposed to be stood. I can't ascertain the reason as to why the boss loses aggro but in our controlled group our tank had 1000 more toughness than the next closest guy and it still happens.
Edit 1: crappy formatting.

After dusting off my chrono tank and going to vg they are definitely aggroing on illusions/avengers at least. I had an avenger up, bugged and stuck on wall it was was very easy to see it take aggro and boss run over. When tanking at the pillar any phantasm caught on the other side of the pillar also caught the bosses aggro causing him to walk out of the arena and despawn in an effort to get around the pillar and attack. We then tanked on druid and had no aggro/pathing issues at all.

Interesting. Thanks!
