Whereas if you landed the Turgur's Insects, you get incremental threat per tick. So with a 1.7 minute Blind, if it gets resisted (which it will on raid mobs) you get ultra threat, which is why Bio Orb is a good opener for a tank on a raid.

That's not a thing. It just doesn't work like that. The only effects that build threat over time is DoTs. Resisted spells don't generate extra threat. That's player imagination at work.

I have played rogue alot on p99 as well, and it's a noticeable difference between threat on a low-damage backstab and a missed backstab. I heard a rumor that if you miss an attack, it gives you the same threat as if you hit for full damage - compared to hitting for low damage. People who play rogues will notice this - that missed backstabs typically generate more threat than backstabs that hit for minimum damage, or low damage.

That's not a thing, either. The threat generated by attacks doesn't vary based on the damage roll. For auto-attacks, it's always weapon_damage + damage_bonus. For backstab, it's probably weapon_damage * backstab_multiplier. Missed attacks don't somehow generate extra threat.
