- "I would argue that having systemic, total control of your cooldowns and knowing when to use them is a much bigger part of tanking than maintaining threat."

This. Ask any good tank (ie. someone tanking hard modes for a Progression guild) and they'll tell you that holding threat is only a small part of tanking. Boss positioning, planning ahead for big damage phases and proper cooldown usage is far more important than simply DPSing from the front. And this was -before- they buffed threat gen to astronomical levels.
