Warrior Is shout tanking a thing in 1.12.1?

[Craptola]

I just dinged 60 and intend to start tanking some of the higher level dungeons. I have heard that back in the day battle shout did quite a lot of threat and was useful for holding large groups of mobs. I tried to experiment with this but my version of KTM doesn't seem to pick up threat generated by shouts. Does this work here or was it patched out before 1.12.1?

 

[Blueblack]

Before Patch 2.0.1, Battle Shout generated 55 threat for every party member who received the buff. This made it better than Demoralizing Shout for gathering groups of mobs for AoE. It was also used frequently in Phase 1 of the Nefarian fight in BWL.

Yes/No

If you pull larger groups I advice you to use Battelshout at least once as it gives you enought threat to hold aggro against the first heals.
Its situational, but there are bosses where its necessary (+/-). Twins or Razergore for example.
