One addendum. If anyone has cast a beneficial spell on you
(e.g. clerical healing or buff), they need to zone as well.
When they do that, they get added to the monster's hate list
because they helped someone the monster hates. You zone and
you are no longer on the monster's hate list. You play a song
which helps the cleric (basically any party effect song), and
you are right back on the hate list. This "aggro pollution"
can spread like a virus as party members help each other with
buffs and heals and cures. So if this has been going on for a
while, the entire party should zone.
