Have you considered maxing War Cry instead of Taunt? Why reduce a monsters' attack ratings and damage when you can stun them and not let them hit you at all? Obviously, I'm having a lot of success using the Taunt/War Cry combination with my "barbarian mage," Gunter. The only downside I can see is that War Cry can be a little mana intensive, so you'd probably have to wear a couple of +mana items and have a decent amount of mana leech.
