i just hope this Tmeter can be turned off.. i dunno why but it seems like it will suck some of the fun out of tanking/dps-ing imo

Yes it can be toggled on/off with ctrl+T or /togglethreatwindow.

You will still see the red bar under the mobs power bar.

just get a current UI part for the Target and indirect target and there will be no red bar.

it will be a crutch for poor tanks, but it will let the great tanks shine, over time ppl will say i remeber grouping with that guy/gal and i was able to dps like crazy, good players dont need a reason to presue getting better, we always want to be the best or at least attempt to be

I don't see how a threat meter will let a 'great tank shine'. You're already so far ahead of the raid/group on aggro, threat isn't an issue. If you need to use a meter to tell DPS to hold back at certain times you're already a very bad tank. :/

The meter itself won't be a crutch if other players don't let it. The tank can use it as one all he wants, but if the rest of the raid steps up and tells said tank to STFU - then it won't =)

If anything, it will give the rest of the raid clear ammunition to tell the bad tank - do your fucking job!
