It is a 20% chance to hit for each and every person in the area of your taunt everytime you "fire" the power. I have this in my Tankers taunt power and have seen it go off several times during 1 activation of the power.
Enjoy.

Here's a question: what if you slotted it in a Single Target attack? Will it have the chance to proc on the single target or will it have a chance to proc for all targets affected by gauntlet?

Truthful answer: I don't know off the top of my head as I have never slotted it in a single target attack.|

Guess: No, as the attack only affects the single target and gauntlet is a separate mechanism added on to that attack*.
*This could be WAY off base though or just plain wrong. I can't get to anything but the forums at work
so I can't check right now.
The Zinger Proc operates via Taunt effect.
Since Gauntlet on a Tanker is an AoE Taunt effect (of varying radius depending on the specific attack being used), the Zinger Proc is "carried" by Gauntlet.
This means that the Zinger Proc is effectively enabled and channeled through Gauntlet on a Tanker and has a 20% chance to proc on each individual target within the Gauntlet radius of each attack power in your Primary.
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

I always slot zinger proc in my taunt because almost every time I use it I get a proc on at least one guy. Its very reliable because its carried over.
The chance for disorient proc in taunt sets is a little more unreliable though it seems, I dont remember a time ever hitting it before removing it but it could have just been down to the magnitude and the foes I was fighting (which i cant remember right now).
i use proc in taunt and it goes off quite regularly.
very awesome to use it

So would the Proc be as equally effective when slotted into an AoE such as Combustion or Fire Sword Circle?|

I don't have taunt on my Ice/Fire and just slotted the Psi proc last night into one of the PbAOEs. Haven't had a chance to test it though...

The Proc will have a 20% chance to fire on each enemy in the range of the PBAoE. It will check against each enemy, though, and not fire off on all enemies or none. This mean, if you're fighting 5 enemies, on average you'll see it hit one enemy each time you use the power.

Last I checked, Gauntlet does not carry the Zinger proc employed in a single-target attack to other targets affected by the taunting radius. It's been a while since I used that Tank though. Will double check tonight.|

As a follow up: Gauntlet does not carry the Zinger proc to multiple targets when socketed in single target attacks.
The proc is very effective in Taunt, and I also find it useful in Fault on my Inv/Stone tanker... Fault deals no damage on it's own but it's very rare that I don't see the proc fire on at least one enemy in the AOE... usually it hits 3 or more in an average group.
With the Zinger proc in Taunt you even have a 20% chance to hit that MOG'd Paragon Protector... I've actually killed more than a few of them simply with Taunt.

I know its something like 20%, but does the number of foes affected, change the %?

Is it the more baddies the better? Or is it a 1 in 5 chance of working. So if I taunt 5 times, one of those times all the baddies will get the psi damage |
For sure one in every AOE, and in most of your single targets if there isn't something better to pop in there.Plus, last I looked they're pretty darn affordable.
