The PvP Taunt is pretty cool. I like the debuff idea.

Something else I thought would work well for a PvP Taunt would be retargetting. When you pull off a successful taunt, (based on whatever stats and skills make sense) whoever you taunted actually is forced to target you, and are unable to target anyone else for a specified (although short) amount of time.

That would allow a healer to heal themselves, a mage to get some spells off, a weak person to run away.

This debuff is a good idea, but they have to make sure it keeps your buddies from getting interrupted, or allows them to go out of combat-mode if they want to.

World of Warhammer is looking pretty good but I can't help to get the feeling that I've already played it somewhere else

I hate game articles which talk about graphics before gameplay! Go watch some Hollywood action or animation movies or something if you want graphics!
