As far as the whole +threat thing, I'm kind of surprised it's still in game, but I'm guessing it's meant more for "kite-tanking" not real sword+board tanking. More for the new instances than what we currently have, anyway. UW:Rockbiter, Frost shock, Ghostwolf, rinse and repeat.
Don't forget battle rezz! And sit on dead people in cat form.

I think this is right though, kiting would be ideal and fit in with a hunters role. With the Unleash Elements effect, Frost Shock threat, instant ghost wolf + baseline speed increase, ghost wolf usable indoors + earthbind totems... I think that'll be the role shamans fit into.
