What is the motivation behind this aura? Tanks would never use an unreliable taunt; they will stick to the old system, so I assume you have something else in mind?

It's not a taunt. It's an aggro aura. That way when fighting ultra blacks if your taunts get resisted 50 times in a row you still make a somewhat effective tank. I would even suggest adding this, and reducing the effectiveness of aggravation, since people have been bitching about it for a long time. That would slightly lower the effectiveness of taunts in pvp (I've never had one resisted except by the very best of tanks) while making it much more possible for a tank to be effective against super blacks, who resist taunt after taunt from a meleer that simply can't build to have a lot of cnc or pst/mst.

I very rarely support buffs, but recently there have been several tank nerfs and another one is planned, so a minor pve tank buff seems to me to be in order. Maybe adjust those ranks a bit so the highest one requires 99 grey.

Just my two cents
