The difference at my level with app IV Sunder is :

Sunder Apprentice IV :

Increase Threat by 421 ( 30 second recast timer )

Deals a knockdown to all enemies in a encounter

Balok's Furious Chant Adept II :

Increase Threat by 411 ( 20 second recast timer )

Casts berserk on caster. On succesful attack this spell will :

Increase damage per second of target by 5%

Increase attack speed of target by 40% ( which is acually 46% according to /show_window mainHUD.Character )

So you have a choice, faster recast time = more taunt plus more berserk = faster kill's, or slower taunt = less taunt plus the chance to knockdown the encounter which will give you maybe 2 shoot's at interupting them per encounter, depending on group set up etc and less berserk. Balok's Furious Chant pop's berserk everytime with out fail, its great for berserk while tanking, even for a single mob taunt.

It all depends what you plan out, there is many ways a player can get the same results playing a different style, there is no such thing as the best way in this game which is good, diversity is a very positive thing.

I agree with your point = diversity is what makes this game great.

I was simply making reference to the comment you made, suggesting because these issues have been aired for such a long period of time, that they needn't add fixes/alterations to the patch notes.

It is absolutely critical that they do, hence my example. I need that information to make my choice, be it right/wrong/indifferent to anybody else's.

Remember, a lot of people don't choose to read the boards but use the patch notes as their reference to changes.
