Pet breaks especially it does come in handy, since an enchanter does not want their pet dc’d(dc sucks anyway) or atk debuffed, leaving basically one shroud to pull aggro.

There’s no such thing as both spamming and using it as needed, just wild theorycraft. If you’re spamming, you already gave up the ability to use it as needed, because you have no idea when you’ll actually need it.

Once you realize it’s not about changing his opinion, but more about defending the truth, it becomes easier to deal with nonsense.
Theres no gaslighting going on lol. Please stop making stuff up, it doesn't help your position. It just makes you look bad. Attacking people because you can't win with facts and logic is not a valid method of argument.

Yes, you can spam taunt and then switch to strategic usage, it has a 6 second cooldown. It will pop back up by the time you have finished your first agro spell, which you would be casting anyway. Do you not use taunt after the first one failed? Your logic that you can't do both is mind boggling unless you only use taunt the first time you lose agro, and then never touch it again even after a failure. If a strategic taunt fails the first time, you can use it again 6 seconds later. No different than if you spam and then switch to strategic usage.

DC isn't used anymore, so I am not sure why you are bringing it up. You would use shroud of hate or shadow vortex on the pet. The ATK debuff isn't detrimental enough to matter on mobs you would be charming. That's why Shamans/Enchanters aren't casting cripple on blue con mobs. You aren't relying on taunt in that situation, and since the pet should be behind the mob, you are probably out of melee range for taunt to begin with since you are in front tanking.
