Best keystrokes to assist the tank (and should I be doing that?)

Hello,
As a melee DPS Shaman (and newbie) I am wondering if I am getting my role right when partied up in a dungeon. Usually when the tank pulls I wait a few seconds for him to build up his aggro then just pile in on whatever I can, probably quite inefficiently. However, I have a couple of questions please.
If the tank is the second guy in the party, I can hit f2 to select him, then "F" to select the mob that the tank has selected. Is that what is known as main assist? Is that what I should be doing? Or perhaps I should I be hitting something other than the tanks target?
Any advice or handy keystrokes would be appreciated.

Nah, you're doing good...
What I tend to do is set the tank as my focus, and use a macro to assist them (as I've keybound my F1-F12 keys and my F key to other things).
Anyhow, if you find yourself getting agro (even while assisting the tank), throw a few
Wind Shear
and be content that you're doing everything you can.

I usually hit Tab-f-f while I'm running in.

Tab-f-f ? Can you elaborate?

Tab = target a mob
F = target that mob's target (tank)
F = Target that player's (tank's) target (mob I should be killing)
Those are the default keybindings, so I thought it would be obvious.
