Bad move. The reason they made threat basically irrelevant nowadays is because it doesn't force DPS to work with the tank and throttle their throughput while the tank builds up threat... it forces the tanks to work against the DPS by competing with them in a game of aggro tug of war.

Besides, going back to threat mattering would also bring back the age of new tanks suffering under overgeared DPS. It's frustrating and it reduces the pool of tanks available to run dungeon/raid finder with. So no, threat is probably staying where it is and Survivability will become the entirety of the tank game.
