To correlate this with a blue post:
Edit: Don't forget NPC abilities can still mess around with threat alot. If they wanted, they could easily make encounters that test how you react to threat, rather than having every encounter be based off how you build threat.

We'll see. They'd have to scale threat mechanics back to being pretty trivial if an ability like a free 10% off for your biggest threat generator is no longer useful. Even as a buffer against heal aggro, AoE threat, etc... it seems worth it to be for a single talent point. But hey, maybe they've just decided threat isn't a cool mechanic, and scaled it back so far it barely even exists. In which case, as I said, they broke the threat mechanics. B)
