Pugilist role in groups... a Tank or a Damage Dealer?

Taunt wasn't nerfed maybe you just don't understand what Taunt does. If you are using taunt as your primary means to build enmity you are doing it wrong.

I only use taunt when I need to focus the mob on me. So if I have aggro, and unless for some reason I know my enmity is gonna dip, I never use taunt. Taunt is much too valuable to be wasting like that.

Taunt was nerfed.... It was a 30 second cooldown, now its 50 seconds, i would say that's a nerf

I think what he's trying to say is that it doesn't nerf pugilist as a tank.
I would have to agree, I actually rarely used this ability to tank, accomplice and our threat holding attacks tend to be more than enough.
Taunt can also be used as a catalyst for simian thrash when you're not the tank, as it still forces the target to attack you for a short time.
