Threat modifier from skittish is -80%, 0.2*10=2. So with skittish you only do 2x threat.
Basically a DPS can do up to 2x damage what tank does to a target without pulling aggro.

Yeah, I get the mechanical application, what I don't understand is how changing this as noted would provide increased fun for players across encounter/instance types.

For those of you that raided back in Ye Olden Days, if a tank lost aggro, would it run around and one-shot everyone but tanks?
