Basically the post I was reading said that a warrior in defensive stance with defiance generates 81% more aggro then a warrior in Battle or Berserker stance. Thottbot has a clearer view of the values:
How accurate is that 81%? Is that something that a theory-craft number? Or something based on in-game research? If that's for real, then it supports the idea that the aggro bonuses are added rather than multiplied:
Base thread: 100%
Battle/'zerker threat: 80%
Defensive thread: 100% 30% + 15% = 1 + 0.3 + 0.15 = 1.45 = 145%
or: 100% * 130% * 115% = 1 * 1.3 * 1.15 = 1.45 = 149.5%
Total difference between batter and defensive is then either:
145% / 80% = 1.8125 => 81.25% bonus
or
149.5% / 80% = 1.86875 => 86.875% bonus
That should be enough of a difference to show up fairly easily with some in-game testing.
If we stack the priest's aggro reduction on there as well (which is multiplicative since they are handled separately) we get a total bonus of:
1.8125 / 0.8 = 2.265625 => 127% bonus
This means that with a fully specs defensive warrior and priest (or druid presumably), the healer can heal more than twice as much for the same skill usage of the warrior without drawing aggro. This should translate into being almost twice as good of a tank/healer combination.
Looking at just the damage side of things, with the full talent setup, the healer can heal the tank for 4.1 health for every damage the tank does. Wth an untalented healer and battle/'zerker warrior, that ratio falls to only 1.8 health for every damage done!
