mantaing agro on a druid!

[Pilgrim1]

ok, I'm a lvl 20 druid wisdom based. I'm thinking of branching off to try to tank some of the lower end raid bosses (thinking tower mostly). How do I maintain agro? Is it possible?

Anyone have any thoughts?

Bear form for two intimidate timers?

Bear form for two intimidate timers?

I'm planning the same when I cap my Druid, hoping that a "tank" mode isnt too expensive in terms of investment.
Ideas:

Unyielding Senintel ED
Max intimidate skill
Shield Mastery feats
+threat gear
bear spells
heal amp/AC gear
maybe Natural Fighting feats


Luckily most of the above is beneficial anyway, even the shield mastery feats give nice doublestrike for wolf form, the rest is only temporary stuff.

With +20% threat from claw set and +30% from ring of hatred im hoping I won't have any issues.

I have not done the numbers but I really wonder if melee threat is the way to go for holding agro. I notice that my melee damage is.. well... pathetic (as a side note druids defiantly seem a low dps class).

I have avoided the natural fighting feats as they just don't seem very worthwhile, especially as my play stile is caster oriented. I wish they would change the natural fighting feats to also add -0.5 to the cooldown of spells in forms or something to sweeten them up.

With good heal amp you can stack up a nice long duration of vigor and be basically un-killable - alternatively renewal on a heal amp toon is stupidly good.

Any thoughts about using intimidate which gives +100% spell bonus damage + anathema + ring of lies? The bear form threat generation thing does not mention melee dps only so maybe it might work. One thing to note is that when intimidating in animal form, you only get 6 seconds of intimidate timer even if you have a shield equipped.

My current feat list is:
maximize
empower
emp heal
quicken
toughness
SF: evocation
GSF: evocation
IC: blunt

Epic evocation
Epic wisdom

I could very easily drop IC: blunt and epic wisdom for the shield feats without really changing the build much, its just that shield feats seem so week at this point in time.
