just use omen threat meter and watch people's threat it announces when you lose aggro.

Wont the standard UI suffice? It even shows an orange text message above the mobs head when it changes target or when you are about to lose aggro.

The two addons i recommend for tanking are Omen threat meter, and X-perl. Both are pretty popular and any raider would benefit from them.
Omen - You can see exactly what your threat is compared to those in your group on your selected target. I also believe there is a collective threat level for all targets.
X-perl - you can see quickly what group members have aggro, a red highlight (or any color you choose) shows what group member is being attacked by a mob. Therefore, if you see someone in red, you should probably help that person out..
i don't believe there is any addon so specific as to tell you exactly what mob escaped
Otherwise the standard UI states when aggro changes. If you are a tank and you see an "Aggro change" type message pop up in yellow, then you have lost threat and need to pick up that mob.

Omen and standard WoW UI should solve the problem. You don't need an addon when WoW can tell you what you want to know by default.

1st of all i aint here to be insulted.
2ndly,i was using xperl but it seems not to be cooperating well enough with bartender
in addition,f is binded
to sum up,i asked for an addon and not for a method.
ty
First of all, what you're here for will not prevent you from being insulted.
Secondly, you're asking for something that doesn't really exist. Most of us tanks just use Omen and/or the X-Perl method and have no issues whatsoever. Get better at switching through your targets.
Third, this is the wrong forum for this question. There is an entire forum dedicated to add-ons and macros, and its not hard to miss.
To sum up, you're a lazy tank - take your snarky attitude elsewhere.

aight ive searched every single corner of addon sites
but i didnt find it.
i need an addon that is going to warn me when i lose aggro,from whom and what mob has ran away from me.
pliz help me guyz.
That would be a nice add-on. Don't think it's feasible, though. If you're in situations where there are two or more tanks, how is the add-on to know when the other tank pulled off you (which is fine), and when it was the Mage who just dropped the Fat Man on a mob?
XPerl and other raid frames usually have an indicator that someone has aggro; switch targets to them, taunt, drop Hand of Sanctuary if necessary, and toss an Exorcism at whatever is targeting them.
For that matter, the in-game party interface even shows you a red frame when someone else has aggro.
I could see some use if Blizz added a modifier - would be useful as a macro for taunts and such, but I'd also sort of seeing it as cheating and unnecessary "dumbing-down" of tanking.
