Having had it used against my characters with some success, I'm thinking about a new character and considering taking it. I've never used it before, but looking into it the DC is against Concentration which few heavily armored types take and it can reduce the opponents AC by up to 6 for 5 rounds. That sounds good, but I'd have to invest quite a few skill points to have a good chance of success.
Don't forget that taunt also messes with spellcaster's ability to cast spells. Taunt is excellent for dealing with slow/dumb opponents that don't run away when their AC is decreased.
