Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Right now, bots will engage with full force as soon as you pull a pack of mobs in a dungeon / raid setting.
This makes tanking harder as you have to fight the bots for threat as soon as you pull.
Describe the solution you'd like
Please add an option to set a delay for bots so they wait x amounts of seconds before they engage. This will allow the tank to gain some aggro before the DPS bots engage.

Additional context
I've seen references to this command somewhere but I'm not sure this is implemented here as this command does nothing:
/t BOTNAME orders delay <0-10> (sets the amount of time the bot will wait before engaging your target or tank's target in combat)

Currently my approach has been to use two macros to control this.

/p @dps co +passive
/p @dps co -passive

Yeah, I've been using /p @dps flee and /p @dps follow and it works, but having to use those 2 macros on every pull can get quite tedius.. If we could set the delay for x amount of seconds at the start of the dungeon/raid it would be so much better and automate this process instead of having to press those 2 macros over and over. The tank will get the chance to reach the mobs and grab aggro and dungeons would be less tedius to run and require less micro-managing of the dps bots.

Workaround:
Requires slashin or elvui addon

Prepare macro (/in 8 mean after 8 second)
/p @dps co +passive
/p @HEAL co +passive
/p @Tank do attack my target
/in 8 /p @dps co -passive
/in 8 /p @HEAL co -passive

Solution:
Migrate "wait for attack" strategy from cmangos bots or create something similar

The wait for attack was very useful and the "pull" also.
