If it hasn't been explained well enough already, threat is based off of damage dealt, and classes with a tanking specialization have their damage threat values multiplied by around 300% when they specialize in their tanking tree. So a Warden specced for determination who does 1000 damage in ANY form on a mob will hold aggro over a hunter who does 3999 damage to the mob. While I can't honestly say I tested things to know that threat works when you swap into assailment stance while specced for determination, I would consider it a bug if it didn't.

We still have 2 stances, btw. Into the Fray, and Assailment. One is melee range gambits, one is Ranged, Assailment simply had its min range values eliminated and a penalty for fighting in melee while in the stance applied.

Apologies if we beta testers haven't conveyed this information well enough already, but I'm positive its been stated on a number of occasions how both threat and our stances will work.
