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.
