Addon that shows a player is getting attacked by which mob?

Sometimes when I'm tanking a group of mobs, someone in the party would aggro one of them and I just can't save that person because things are chaotic and I don't know which mob is attacking the guy. Is there an addon that shows me the mob so I can quickly get back aggro?

Enable your target of target frame and then target the player who pulled agro?

That won't necessarily work...A healer, for example, may have healing agro from a mob that is not his target.

Right, but it's the only workable solution. If no one is targeting the mob, the UI has no information about it. If someone else in the raid has the mob targeted, but not the person the mob is on, and not you then the only way to get information on it is to pole through each raid member's target / targetoftarget units, which is HORRIBLY memory inefficient, and extremely slow. Yet even that won't be enough because then you'd need to check that mob's target, and some how programatically determine if that's the mob we should be showing in the unit frame, or if it's some other mob.
In short, there is no fast, and more importantly reliable, way to show the information the OP wants. The best you can get is target of target.
