Something like this should've been put in as early as BWL for Vael, or Naxx for Patchwerk at the latest. When you're constantly introducing fights that ask you to manage threat well, such as Gruul or Void Reaver, why is the community still relying on estimates and guesswork. Very accurate estimates and guesswork with a solid basis, to be sure, but guesswork nonetheless.
Skill. Good players were adept at judging and managing their threat even without addons, bad players were not.

Although I agree thats true, threat meters enable me to do more damage than without one, by giving me an approximate value, and letting me know exactly where I am, as before, I had to hold back on dps.
