I agree it's useless. Even the regular taunt is useless since it pulls too many as well. However I can tank 3 Gurks at level 80 with heals, intimidate, armor break, bleed attack, critical hit, mind hit and lunge no problem.

was thinking that today while respecing.
Swordsman is the least of the Melee professions for tanking and yet they get the most tank friendly ability.
I was tanking as a TKM/MFencer/MBrawler/0230Medic for my group today and I could have used an area taunt. I'll trade you a fencer or tkm special for it... You can't have lunge though

I guess area taunt would work once the MOB has been parred down. Right now I gotta run all over the place trying to get hits in. Even if I aggro I can't hold it, the ranged guys pull the MOB's away. So I never thought of using area taunt in that scenario to keep them on me. Good idea. As far as your specials go I got all the TKM specials but I wouldn't mind having improved cripple attack or advanced lunge.
