Taunt

A taunt is an effect or ability that forces mobs to focus on the caster for a short time, regardless of threat levels. Most taunt abilities also increase threat generation while they're active. All classes with a tank specialization have a taunt.
==List==
*: Dark Command. For Blood death knights, Death Grip also has a taunt effect.
*: Torment (demon hunter ability).
*: Growl. Only usable in Bear Form.
*: Growl (pet ability). Used by the hunter's pet.
*: Provoke.
*: Hand of Reckoning.
*: Taunt (warrior ability).
*: Torment. Used by the warlock's Voidwalker minion.
==Focused Assault==
Players cannot be taunted. However, each tank specialization has a PvP talent that replaces their taunt ability with a group PvP-oriented version. The replacement ability applies a debuff called Focused Assault, which puts red crosshairs on the target and increases damage taken, gaining a stack for each unique player that attacks the target.
In essence, Focused Assault is a reverse taunt: Instead of causing an enemy to attack the caster, it incentivizes the caster's allies to attack a specific enemy.
Focused Assault PvP talents include the following:
*: Murderous Intent
*: Tormentor
*: Alpha Challenge
*: Admonishment.
*: Inquisition
*: Oppressor
