Wth an untalented healer and battle/'zerker warrior, that ratio falls to only 1.8 health for every damage done!And there you have the root of the "sucky warrior" phenomenon. Leveling up, the solo warrior learns to rely on battle stance. Those who think they can continue those battle stance habits and still do their tanking job leave a sour taste in their party-mates' mouths.
What is interesting about the -20 mod for battle and beserk stance is that equalling a party mate's DPS + 1 in battle stance would not be sufficient to hold aggro over them. You would need their damage + 20% more? Tall order...
That said, I suspect the multipliers are raw damage only and the fixed hate bonus on various skills is constant (one of the reasons why folks disparage defiance). Some warriors who tank in Battle stance just spam sunder, and as such may get away with it from time to time.
Also interesting is this Rogue Passive - appears they permanently get the same modifier as Beserk & Battle stances, whereas none of the other DPS classes have a universal passive show up on a "Apply Aura Mod Threat" search.
