I think a vengeance that is passive and increases with gear is an amazing idea. I had been thinking of giving every tank a type of vigilance they could put on another tank so that they're vengeances and threat would be equal and just use taunt like it was today. But that might lead to tanks literally facerolling which I don't think would turn out that great.

I was just thinking that too. Tanks could get an ability that transfers vengeance to the off-tank before or just after the taunt/swap. this would be a great thing to add to the "active" tanking model they are trying to go for. the other possibility I was thinking is that vengeance could be a debuff tanks have to maintain on the boss, and it multiplies the threat of the current top target by x amount or y%. this way as long as you start out at the top of the threat list you have vengeance working for you, if you have to swap (since taunt can no longer miss) the off-tank automatically gets the stacks transferred to them. they just have to actively keep the debuff up on the target(s). otherwise it's a tank fail, and DPS will over take the tanks on threat, as it should be.
