I run 10 man Naxx and heroics as Arms, and end up pulling aggro almost regularly. I don't use Sweeping Strikes or Bladestorm right off the bat. Most of the time I even wait a few seconds before I start my dps. I also follow the kill order, and the group I run with is at the same gear level as I am.
The only time that I don't seem pull aggro or have to throttle my dps is when i run with a warrior tank who has
Vigilance
on me.
I was wondering if
Enchant Cloak - Subtlety
would be a worthwhile enchant, or if there are any other things i could do to help the issue.
If you think changing any gear/enchants/gems or any part of my talent build might help, please let me know. Thanks.

If your waiting 5-6 seconds its probably not your fault. You might wanna download Omen and find out what you, and your tanks TPS is. (It also has aggro warnings if your getting to close to the tank.)
Your tank may not know what he is doing or maybe really low on hit.
Generally id say no that enchant is not worth it.

It's the price you pay in heroics, that's why you're in plate. Most tanks cannot generate enough threat on that many mobs, so the first time you whirlwind or hit bladestorm on a pack, some of them are going to focus on you. If you're not dying from it, then it's not a big deal, it's part of being plate melee dps. If you are dying, either the tank needs help, the healer needs help, or you need to tone it back and lay off whirlwind/bladestorm/cleave. While following the kill order is good, your whirlwinds/bladestorm/cleaves will still be hitting the other mobs, and the tank may have very low threat on them. If you're waiting a few seconds then it's likely the tank needs some improvement in his multi-target tanking skills, but to be honest if you hit sweeping strikes + bladestorm on a mob pack in a heroic at your gear level, you're gonna take some hits.
The cloak enchant is not worth it.

Thank you both for your feedback.
I will keep the cloak enchant that I have. I do have Omen installed, but have never really paid attention to to the actual tps. Just how close I am to the tank(s). I will try to get the actual numbers next time I run.
