I’m pretty sure it doesn’t. Melee threat per swing is a function of weapon ratio, haste, dmg bonus only. Any negative modifier on damage doesn’t apply to hate generation.

If I’m wrong, someone in “the know” please educate me.

That's correct. When you swing a weapon, you generate an amount of aggro equal to weapon_dmg_stat + char_dmg_bonus. Doesn't matter how hard you hit, or even if you hit at all. A discipline that makes you do less damage (or more) per swing, or hit less (or more) often, does not affect how much aggro you generate. A swing is a swing, no matter if you miss, hit for low damage, hit for max damage, or crit. The only exception is crippling blows since they also stun, which generates additional aggro.
