Oh it takes more than that. I tried tanking a +6 dragon outside ToV and I could not pull aggro off the rogue no matter how many times I spammed snare. Ditto for mez. The only thing that worked reliably, was AE DoT songs + melee. i.e. Denon's Bereavement, Denon's Disruptive Discord, etc. i.e. it took actual damage to pull aggro.
Granted, this is not the usual thing bards tank. And I'm sure the rogue could have evaded more, had he known how borked aggro had become. But we were both learning on the spot, that we could not assume my aggro was overwhelming.
It's not completely broken, I can still generate aggro more reliably than a warrior, it's just not the snap paladin-type aggro it used to be. It makes tanking spicy.
