Warriors over there trying to figure out if they should be punching between swings while shadowknights are debating if they should press taunt.

It's wild for sure. Taunt is pretty simple to understand. I am not sure why people are so unwilling to press their taunt buttons. It's ok if one gets wasted here and there.

I agree taunt is a usable skill. I don't think anybody has stated otherwise.

People are simply vastly overestimating the opportunity cost of a single taunt being wasted. That seems to be their problem with taunt spamming.

Since taunt is unreliable to begin with, you have to assume the first taunt will fail, even when it doesn't. You can't plan around assuming it will succeed.
So just spam it and assume it doesn't work. Got it. Thanks for the 20+ pages. DSM wins again folks.

Incorrect. Feel free to use taunt and don't worry about a missed taunt here and there. That's what I am saying.

Not using taunt or being afraid to use taunt because you will "waste" it is not not helping your tanking.

You simply can't rely on taunt working factually speaking. Don't build a strategy upon the assumption of success. Please stop twisting my words because you want to be silly.

The 8.33% chance to automatically taunt while spamming is still true based on the 50% chance of success from my dataset of 9000 taunts. You have done nothing to counter this point. This is just basic math.

Two more troll posts for your history. Keep digging yourself further into that hole. Hopefully you will realize that you aren't convincing anybody with this nonsense.
