I agree with you. It's easier for the tank to just watch the mobs. The tank should be the only player in front of the mob, so it's really easy to just watch which way the mobs are facing. If one turns away, or starts running after the healer, you can just grab that mob.

I think the Threat Meter is most helpful for the DPS/heals/support jobs. Without the Threat Meter, there's no real way to know if you're close to pulling hate. You only find out about it when it's too late, and you've actually pulled hate. The Threat Meter tells DPS/heals/support to slow down before they've crossed the line.
