Taunt?

Taunt should be usable in PvP (Hand of reckoning (WITHOUT DAMAGE) Warrior Taunt, Druid bear taunt, stoneclaw, etc etc) But instead of the taunt debuff, It just switches targets on them kinda like how FD and Mirror Image removes thier target. It's not OP, A bit of a *!@# off in arena maybe, Taunting the dps on the healer, etc
Thoughts?

Taunt IS usable in pvp, I love when hunter's pets are breaking traps for me.

I actually think the target switching thing would work, not being OP, just a bit of an annoyance or a life saver. (e.x. taunt a dps off the healer before they get the killing blow on it or something to give the healer an extra second or two while they switch targets back)

Not going to work. If you taunt someone on team B, team B's tank will turn around and taunt you. At that point, both tanks will be locked on each other and unable to do anything else.
not locking it will just switch target, so instead attacking healer, you will be switch to taunter and you will must switch back to healer if you want to continue attacking him, i think its good idea

I don't see them doing this.
Not because it'd be too powerful, it would be too weak.
It would not matter vs aoe classes like pally and warrior (Divine storm and Blade storm)
I spam tab anyway when fighting a mage or hunter.

If that would work without locking the target id just keybind the 'targetlasttarget' funktion to sth. like shift+s

I could see it working similarly to a rogue's distract. It just instantly faces you to the tank, not necessarily swapping your currently selected target to the tank.I agree, this is what I've always envisioned Taunt abilities doing in PVP. Frankly I'm surprised they haven't given it a shot yet.

It would just be too broken, the three (plate) classes that can do it are also the toughest and some of the most bursty.

why the hell should we be able 2 taunt players in pvp? This may work for people struggling at 1k rating, but srsly, who is such a retard and wont be able to simply tab to the current target in the second?
And tanks will NEVER be good in arena, NEVER, exept for prot pally healers if that counts for a tank.
For one, you aren't intelligent enough to realize that Ret Pallies, Arms/Fury Warriors, and DPS Dks can still taunt. They don't have to be tank spec to be able to taunt its a class spell.
Further more, I doubt your rating is anything above 1k if you don't realize that one second can mean the difference between dying and living. You most likely were carried if that is the case.
And finally, Prot warriors are stunlock heroes. NOT to mention the fact that most DKs that pvp are in some form of a tank spec. L2 pvp nub.
