I craft Kunai for my Defender. Pulling as a Defender gives me initial agro and makes it easier to position and control the mob, unless some ranged dps get an itchy trigger finger and fires away early .... grrrrrrr!
I pull a lot as a Striker too. I can stand off farther when equipping a long bow. At the moment of the initial attack, I get out of combat stance and switch to melee weapons, or a short bow, while running back to the tank's back pocket. This practice gets me into trouble occasionally when I pull with my Defender because it's ingrained in my muscle memory to switch stances to run back to my group. Launching a thrown weapon does not require a Defender to be in combat stance.
