Does the hellhound draw less aggro with infernal breath added?

I recently had a feeling (could be wrong) between 2 builds the hellhound was drawing less aggro which I could not explain. So I did some test:

If the hellhound only had ember claw , I counted the claw particle effect 14 times in 30 seconds on the dummy, but when infernal breath ability was added it dropped to 9 times in 30 seconds

the attack speed was +58% and cast speed +47%

I am not sure if this actually matters tho since I don’t know if the taunt effect has a certain duration that can overlap with itself?

Claw has a cooldown of 2 seconds. When the cooldown is over and pet has finished current action, he will use claw.
Breath has such a long animation lasted for almost 1.5 seconds or even longer. So, hound won’t use claw immediately after the cooldown ends. He must wait for breath to end.
Therfore, without breath, hound may use claw every 2-2.5 seconds, but with breath, the interval can go to 3-3.5 seconds.

So it’s better to choose 1 skill to focus on the HH instead of both
