The reason either utilization of Taunt works is because it's a minor ability for a shadowknight (or paladin) in the first place. You could take it off your ability bar entirely and you'd barely notice.

Exacltly. Everything you said is correct in your full post. The only disagreement I have here is spamming taunt does give you a chance to taunt at the right time without effort. So it isn't completely ineffective. But we both agree taunt isn't relaible anyway, so it's just a small bonus chance of doing something.

If you’re “switching your taunt strategy”, you’ve already failed. You have no idea when you’ll need to switch, so just don’t do it. You can’t have it both ways. Spamming taunt has a much lower chance of being available when you actually need it. Getting +1 aggro every 6 seconds is effectively nothing as nobody is maintaining held aggro because of taunt spam. You should be conserving your APM to focus on things that actually matter.
I’ll add this to my list of bizarre theories this guy has put out.

Yes, if you need to rely on taunt you have failed. That is what I have been saying the entire time.
You can put taunt, disarm, beg, and slam/bash on the same macro for regular fights when you aren't trying to interrupt spells or deal with mezed mobs. It saves you APM and gives you a chance to taunt at the right time. Just spam it and generate all the hate you can, while giving yourself a chance to taunt at the right time. Just use a different macro page if you need to separate slam/bash and make a macro for just taunt/beg/disarm if you want to frontload agro into a mezed mob. Or always keep them separate if it doesn't bother you to press 2 buttons instead of 1.
Saying that spamming taunt is somehow going to put you in a situation where not having it for 2 seconds is a going to be a major problem is really silly lol. I have never been in a situation where having taunt on cooldown was a problem. This is because taunt isn't a skill you rely on in the first place.
