    It's good if you like to AoE grind or if the wizzad steals aggro and runs and you have Roar on cooldown. Mostly I use it to grind because I can gain chi from it. Alacrity, Devour, Beastial Rage, Frighten to soften the blows, then it's usually time for Alacrity again, if not, Surf!

    It's a good skill if you find yourself in squads and tanking a lot. Otherwise, you don't necessarily need to level it yet.

    Get it and level as you have spare spirit/coin. I think mine is still at lvl 7 or 8.

    The benefits of Frighten are (in no certain order:) AOE effect (chi recharge,) Reduced movement speed, reduced attack.

    Detriments: Long cast time (comparable to other barb skills.)

    It's a good primary aggro skill as well.

    It does help to gather a bunch of mobs when roar is on cooldown, but thats a secondary benefit.

    Roar at lower levels can be used primarily as a chi builder.

    I'd say level it as and when you can. The attack reduction is really helpful when you have a solo cleric and are facing a real tough cookie like Ape in 2-3 (those self buffs hurt).
    When the going gets tough; Get a tank!
