Kidding aside, taunt for a knight is almost worthless. I agree with some here, if not running potg and c2 using it with intent can probably save you a lot of mana over the course of a grind. Realistically my whimsical "new taunt" is just a mez-break button which might be handy (I guess).
The only time I would spam anything is if it A.) gave a benefit B.) was linked to something else I already was needing to spam. Otherwise the net benefit to hitting a button 10+ times a minute is just not worth it, to me. If I'm going to use a tool I'll use it efficiently or just skip over it and simplify my game.
IMHO knowing what spells to cast and when is most the battle for casual tanking. For the intense stuff, and having access to a GCD and knowing how use it in conjunction with spell slot #1 is very important. It's probably a 30% boost in threat by increasing the number of spells you can crank out in the same period of time. After that, its tank positioning and quickly/accurately calling for assists.
In the end, everyone should just play how they want to play. If they are struggling they should objectively seek out ways to improve their game (even if it means maybe giving up "their way").
