From the developer diary:

Defiant Challenge

Big changes are coming to Defiant Challenge. First, this is no longer a gambit. Due to the changes I’m making to this skill, the gambit aspects no longer made sense. The skill is now a true “Oh Bleep!” button.

Mitigations are increased by 40% (additive, not multiplicative) for a short time. A reactive damage bubble is applies to the Warden and up to 10 targets immediately around the warden must attack (forced attack) for 5 seconds. This is on a generous 450 second (or seven and a half minute) cooldown!

Oh so generous. From no cooldown to a 450 second cooldown, removed threat and added no mitigation while leaving the long animation we've all grown to love. This is the best skill in the game!

Don't forget the awesomely shiny disco lights.
