Include Battle Cry and damage reduction equipment. You can get a close to 100% Phys resistance doing that as well, plus, the other advantage of Battle Cry is that it drastically lowers the Defense Rating for the monsters, making them virtually ITD.
You can Taunt them to you with one point, then Battle Cry the mob and then kill them much more effectively.
One nice side effect about your build is the insane Battle Orders bonuses that you wil accrue for Mana and HP. :)
I forget who posted the discussion on the old Armory about this, I think it was Warblade, but the build only needed you to get Battle Cry to about 30, and a few Damage Reduced items took care of the rest. Circlets at high levels typically have -20 Damage when gambled, and I found a -25 Damage amulet the other day. If your +3 +3 Taunt helm has three sockets, you could put in three sol runes for -21 DR. Or, a +3 battle cry helm with three sockets/Sols. Or, if you have them lying around, Ber.
Lots of ways to peel the onion. :)
Consider this: Battle Cry works against bosses, and Taunt does not. You might want to consider that tactically.
Thanks for the Min Max post. :)
The only monsters you wont be able to handle with this is Oblivion Knights, as they don't come a running when Taunted. War Cry to stun them, since you will have it at 25-30 with your set up, then Frenzy/BattleCry to finish them off. Or WW.
There are so many choices. :)
