Theoretically, based on how Taunt has been described on this server, if I stand in front of a mezzed mob and fire off a few Taunts before breaking mez, it should stay on me right? I've yet to have that happen on P99 yet in my live days that worked fine... seems to contradict the "taunt puts you at the top of the hate list" thing...

One successful taunt is enough to put you at the top of the aggro list by 1 point. Following up with a bash, or kick is preferred to a second taunt.

A second taunt doesn't add any additional aggro if you're already on top, it just wastes a taunt.
(Obviously if you are a hybrid you should be using high aggro spells as well.)

The general rule about taunt is that you only use it when you loose agro and never when you already have it.
