I have confront on my Widow, if I teamed pvped it would be good as I resist taunt. If I was playing in PvE then I could potentially save a friend far away as it still beats travel, tohit chance and most threat levels. Its still perfectly balanced to Tanks, Scrappers and Brutes in that if I wanted to taunt control Statesman and live to tell about it with practically any team make up I still could. So for me its a must pick as it offers me the kind of flexibility I like. In answer to your question, no it doesn't from what I can tell, but really it doesn't need to, it doesn't make much of a blind bit of difference as its only single target for a start.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
That is the exact reason I would want it though, mostly just for -range on LR so I can hold him w/o being touched.
LR can not fly, his maximum range is 110 ft, your confront can exceed that range and if you fly you limit LR by his travel powers. You would have to consolidate aggro by having good taunt duration, you should have confront recharged and reused before every taunt duration wears out. Any scrappers would have to have their taunt auras + other auras turned off. The technique can fail with gauntleting ATs in the team such as Brutes and Tanks. Your threat level is reduced by your range so Confront would have to be well slotted, these slots could be better used somewhere else in the build because 99.9% of the game might require it so, but the choice is yours.
VEATs are for me the best thought out AT that probably have an answer for almost everything.

Does the Widow version of Confront do -range? That's kind of a make or break deal for me and taunt powers.
