Bards are crazy. (their spells act wierd)
Casting status-modifying spells that are not "on your list" generates less aggro than casting status-modifying spells that are "on your list". (On L ~70 mobs, a status not on your list effect generates ~400 hate). This mainly is about procs, as mentioned above.
Other than that, I'm not aware of any parsed difference between aggro generation of different classes.
There may be something wierd with "initial aggro" and some effects.
Note there are two columns in the spells_en.txt that change the hate a spell produces. One overrides the amount of hate produced by the spell (and sets it to a fixed value), the other adds to the hate produced by the spell (and is only really used by one effect: static blow).
In some cases, the "slot" the effect is in seems to change how much aggro it produces. A rune effect in slot 1 generates lots of hate -- a rune effect in slot 2 or later generates "I just cast a buff" hate.
Similar wierdness seems to occur with some druid AC/ATK/resist debuffs. Some generate "status effect" level hate, others generate "dispell" level hate.
