In some MMOs they have Mind Control abilities to make enemies attack each other.

Would be cool if we had that in the form of Taunt, which radiates from enemy target source, forcing its other allies to attack it for 2 seconds.

This could be a pretty clever use of the new taunt mechanics.

Also could see major use as a Zerg counter in WvW.

Taunt already does to much:
-It’s a hard-Cc
-Forces skill spam, proccing whatever you do not want to proc
-Displaces targets, but like Fear the target runs so it also procs Torment
-Locks your selected-target, greatly dimishing certain stun-breaker/instant abilities

It’s like Stun and Fear had a love child and raised it on steroids and growth hormones. And you want to add even more to it? Making it an AoE hard-CC that can impose significant damage on those affected as well?

I don’t see that going down to well.
