My take on it: It's useful but not "required". What you feel is necessary is what you feel is necessary. A battle of opinions won't have a winning side over the case of taunt.
As previously stated, bots have a pretty low threat level to Avs, and any form of attack that smacks the slugger in the face will pretty much have their steroid-incuded rage directed directly (redundant much?) at you rather than the innocent bystandard pets.
Generally AVs and hefty-leveled mobs are the few cases where you actually want some form of taunt, be it in attacks or in the power itself.
