Right, but he was testing druid threat vs. warrior threat and saying that the druid outpaced the warrior.
In a 5 man scenario a druid will rarely have the luxury of 5 sunders on a target, or expose armor. They simply won't generate that much threat in one of these cases. Also in most off-tanking situations you will not have this luxury, you will want DPS warriors and rogues on the DPS target, not the off tanking target (not like it really matters how much threat you generate off-tanking).
In a raid MT situation you might generate this much threat, but this method of testing doesn't really test that case, because in that case you should both have unlimited rage... as a raid MT will never be short of rage.
I understand that feral Druids generate adequate threat to be MTs. To me, that seems to be the only conclusion you can draw from this scenario.
