Which skill would you max out first as a tank bear, Iron Blood, Hell Scream or Evade?
I'm actually leaning towards Hell Scream the more I have thought about it, but would like some other thoughts on it.

hell scream is what i did since it helps with the whole parties damage
Hell Scream - Evade - Iron Blood.
Hell Scream for the reason above, it helps the team and not just me. It does a small mini-stun. It also complements your already higher armor and good dodge with Evade.
Thanks Elly, I had thought the exact same thing on the order. Appreciate the info
Ely, on a similar skill note, as far as effectiveness is rank 6 taunt worth the skill points?
I think beckon n taunt r pretty important too .. But I agree with Elly but still keep at least one point in the other 2 :)
Beckon, IMO definitely needs to be maxed out, along with taunt. Why taunt? Taunt stacks dodge, will greatly improve survivability, in both PVE and PVP. No question that you need to max it. Here is a hint, slashes are the least important. They DO NOT need to be maxed. The ultimate bear will be ultimately emerged through his use of buffs, debuffs, stomp, and beckon. Slashes won't really make a difference.
I got some points in my slashes but yes not necessary to max. I would max buffs n Debuffs keep stomp at 3, n at least have one point in each slash :)
My Bear is Dual tank n damage.. my slashes r little higher than usually for a tank bear but lower than an attack bear :)
Yeah, like range said, Taunt's best use is for the dodge IMO. Aggro is still a shaky concept, but afaik unless things changed, higher taunt didnt mean higher aggro.
Beckon should always be max, no matter what build.
And yes, Slashes are least important. Even less so now than pre-GCD.
