I didn't try to compensate for the extra damage I generated due to Sunder. Nor did I compensate for the extra damage he generated due to Faerie Fire, Leader of the Pack and Mark of the Wild or his extra rage from being hit.
*shrugs* I'd need a larger group to test with neither of us getting any threat benefit from the other being present. The warrior, myself in a different group, perhaps a healer, two other people with known similar threat (identical hunter pets?). I'm not likely to be able to get that group together just to test threat so if you can think of an easier way please let me know.
I know my methodology isn't perfect but the results so far have been pretty conclusive. If you have specific suggestions about improving the accuracy of the test I'll try to repeat with those incorporated. I'd also love to see independent test results.
If Druid threat is higher only due to Sunder Armour, a Druid/Warrior pair tanking a mob will still generate more threat than a Warrior alone and therefore permit more firepower by the rest of the raid.
