because taunt can be used on pvp , to unstealth sinsHonestly i dont understand why taunts even have a downtime on them. In my opinion both taunts should only have a 1 sec. downtime to them so a tank can actually be a tank instead of trying to out DPS everyone else in order to hold aggro long enough to use taunt again. I dont know about everyone else but 10 seconds can be a long time to wait just to try and take aggro from everyone else

You can easy chain 2 tuants and lowblow as a prot to never lose agro vs a mob/boss

Now I dont own a tank but I just looked at the skill tree and it looks pretty damn easy. Max everything on the far right to do with block rate. Max everything in the heal column, max spirit ints, low blow at 5. Shield strike 5, Atk spd 5, both taunts max. Although I'm pretty sure you don't need maxed taunts to keep agro.
whoops bad info source. According to kruxena.com single taunt is 1k agro maxed. Spam that every 3 seconds and it beats out aoe taunt by about double. Aoe taunt is 2220 lvl 10. I'm pretty sure if seriously needed you could cut a few points out of taunt and with those huge numbers stilll tank successfully.
Look
Seems I forgot attack speed buff but you can cut out of restoration and taunts for that if you want it.
I'm not going to bother to touch on druid tank.

10- quick attack
8 in taunt, aoe taunt,
10 stone skin and survival instinct
1 filler point in fighting will and physical blessing
all prot skills as maxed as can be except no points in restraint rescission
If i didnt love my 2 hander I could drop 4 points from Quick Attack and max out taunts
level 8 taunts seems to be plenty, but i can see the bright side of level 10
On topic: no need to shorten taunt cooldowns, a prot already has more then enough to continue spamming skills in a raid.

In the case of Commanders things are more complicated. This is actually a class that NEEDS the skill points and can not afford to just throw them away on taunts. Still, and only if Commanders are inclined towards PvE AND tanking, it is not necessary to max taunts. It all depends how effective is the damage and dps they have. I have found out that even with lvl 6 Taunting Cry (and JUST lvl 1 simple Taunt) I can tank most of the time without much trouble. As long as I dont wait for 5 min to use a taunt! It is perfectly possible to use taunts and attack skills in succession and this certainly helps keeping the aggro. Of course, I have to mention that my dps is quite high too. Only very rarely I will lose aggro and only with exceptional characters, mostly single target dps targeting some mob within a large party of mobs (usually one of those I am not directly fighting or affecting with my skills). In raids, where there is just one single big target, there is hardly ever a problem.
So, everything is possible and perfectly OK as it is now. Just needs some common sense and attention during the task.
