I read the balance update---it did not say anything about the cleric aggro situation or the GF lack of effective aggro. Have these been reduced/improved or is it the same old stuff with what amounts to a bunch of cosmetic changes?
Guardian Fighter
Threat generation on all abilities has been increased by 35%.
Knight's Valor: This power now consistently applies to all members of the party.
Misc.
Threat from Healing is now spread across enemies in an encounter, generating less for each enemy in the encounter.
I'm not sure what exactly it was you read, here's all the info about the balance update: http://nw.perfectworld.com/news/?p=907501
It certainly looks like they're trying to fix it.
