Can't say I agree with you on the Taunt. I was starting to get to level 12 and noticing that end was the big cause of any deaths I sustained. I hit 12 and see Taunt and it's AoE'ness. Grabbed it immediately and I gotta say, I do not regret it. Thanks to it I've got so much more end simply because I don't have to spend time using attacks to build Fury and then start attacking to kill.
With taunt, it's as simple as popping taunt, standing there for maybe 2 seconds and attacking. In those two seconds I get around half Fury and attacking does the rest.
Simply makes it much easier, especially for teams. While I understand Brute is not a tank, we're definitely a bigger tank than any other class on Red Side. Which is the other reason I like it, lets me take aggro from the team (Again, giving me very quick and easy Fury) and help them not die.
Anyway, just my opinion.
