Lol you should never ever just spam taunt. At all.
Taunt has a 6 second cooldown. Taunt will also go on cooldown if you attempt to use it on a mob that has run out of range, such as if the mob is running towards your cleric.

If the mob ran out of range, you want to use a snap agro spell since it can be cast outside of melee range. You have a better chance of success, and the 6 second cooldown on taunt will be back up by then.

If the mob is in range, such as turning to face the rogue, you still want to use snap agro to try and build a buffer. If the rogue is at the top of the hate list often, the rogue will simply return to the top of the list shortly after a successful taunt anyway. The issue at that point is either how the rogue is playing, or how you (the tank) is playing. It isn't an issue of if you are saving taunt or not.

Remember that taunt is unreliable. It isn't your primary method of agro generation.
