But why couldn't you do that on Live and achieve the same results? It's not any more or less complex. The fact that things are more balanced taunts/CAs doesn't really make that much of a difference. Some are still better than others and thus would reside higher on your macro. The only real difference is that timing your Autoattack isn't as important on Test, and that ST taunt refreshes so often.
If your autoattack is only 300 on Test, then it's probably only about 400 on Live. So really timing your autoattacks isn't important there either.
Do you even have a tank character past level 25? I think not.
If you can hold agro on Live through taunts, then your group SUCKS.
Most tanks right now are having to generate nearly as much DPS as the highest DPS classes in their group just to hold agro. This requires full usage of combat arts, auto attacks, and requires you know, BEING AWAKE.
What this thread has uncovered is that after this revamp, only 1 button will be required to hold agro during a fight. Instead of actually FIGHTING to hold agro, you are just standing there taunting.

It completely and totally astounds me what some people will do to get slightly higher numbers on a parse...
On my tank, I follow a simpler procedure.
Am I holding agro? Yes.
Am i taking damage well? Yes.
Is everyone else not dying? Yes.
... the rest? Well, who cares.
So you can hold agro while doing 500 DPS against an Assassin who is doing 3,000 DPS? I don't believe you. Not for one second.
