I think it's much closer to 4%, perhaps even 2%. Do you care to summarize your math again? Still happy to stipulate a 50% innate success rate.
50% divided by 6 seconds is 8.33%. You are correct the real number is lower, but that is also true for the 50% taunt chance. There are numerous factors that reduce the chance for spammed taunt and strategic taunt to work in equal proportion. There is an X percent chance for the mob to be out of melee range, for example. If that ends up being 5%, you would reduce both 8.33 and 50 by 5%. This ends up being 7.88 and 47.5. The 5% is just a random number, not real data just to be clear.

You use the 8.33% chance and the 50% chance as base numbers to see the discrepancy between the two in the perfect scenario, while accepting you generally will not be in the perfect scenario.
