threat generation with cleric and tanking

I found out during dungeon delves that I tank more damage with cleric even when there is tank in the party. Is it tank's fault or I generate too much threat? I try to use only astral shield, hallowed ground and sun burst. and I use soothe of course

    Cleric threat is absolutely broken.
    I have a tank in the mobs face beating them in the head with a sword, and a GWF doing whatever the GWF does...

    And I cast one regen or sunburst and it is suddenly murder the cleric time.

    ok just killed pirate king with 4 guys. basically you need a team which knows what it is doing... cw gwf and me handled the adds while another gwf kept boss separated and eventually killed him. we had another cw who had no clue and we were failing fortunately he left

    If you have a friend that is a tank, I recommend they check out Threatening Surge, Enforced Threat, and Frontline Surge. With these three abilities a tank should be able to compensate for the situation. The bottom line is threat could use a slight tuning to put it in line with "other games", but perhaps this is how they intended threat to work.
    I would say irregardless of cleric/tank threat.. it does seem a bit out of balance for dps threat. (meaning, threat does not seem to be an issue for dps classes -- and i think if anything threat concerns should be equal across the board)
