Here's a couple tank tip videos (female human warrior ftw) that are fairly solid and illustrate some of the points I mentioned in other threads.

Positioning and moving (his moving discussion could be improved but it's still a solid video; great example @ 3:23 of "getting in a mobs grill" (as I call it) and pushing it back):

Awareness (his categories might be kinda hokey but still a solid video):

This works on most bosses. A lot of the drakes(bwl), aq, and tons of naxx bosses(anub, maxxena, grobb, heigan sometimes, loatheb, the adds for thaddius, gluth etc) do this. Most of the new bosses in Ulduar, Obsidian sanctum (except the drakes), and EOE however dont do it. Only new one that has done it is Auriya and probably Freya.

I think the stupid movement is a side effect of the "spreading" they added to mobs (I think in 3.0). Mobs now unstack themselves in order to make targeting easier, but it has the added side effect of making multi-target tanking obnoxious since mobs with big hit boxes move themselves out of cleave range. It seems like mobs with big hit boxes sometimes shuffle in weird ways even when they are alone with the tank, as if they are trying to spread out from the tank.
