I believe the problem we're seeing, and reason it's not as we all remember it being, is because at this stage in the game, TAUNT blows. It will continue to blow until it gets patched later to actually work worth a damn.
Taunt undisputedly sucks for all classes, and I believe pets are suffering for it as well. It does not function on mobs higher than your level, which leaves your pet shit out of luck in most cases. It also doesn't work on 50+ mobs.
Given the lack of GM comment about such a widespread problem, I can only assume it IS working as intended. This theory is the only thing I've though of that makes any sense to me thus far.
Another interesting idea was that DoTs are incorrectly applying all their hate at the front end of the spell, instead of on the ticks like they're supposed to. But I cannot confirm/deny this obviously.
