It functions just like the Warrior's Taunt, which operates in the following manner:

1: sets your current threat equal to the highest player on the mob's threat list.
2: forces it to attack you.

As Taunt, Growl can be resisted by the mob, and certain mobs are also immune.

Some useful insight regarding the game-mechanics of a feral's growl abililty:

17% chance to miss, subjected to *spell* hit mechanics
1% reduction in chance to miss with spells at lvl80 = 26.23 hit rating

- With glyph + debuff (FF from balance druids or debuff from shadow priests):

17% - 8% (glyph) - 3% (debuff) = 6%

6% = 6 x 26.23 = 158 hit rating

- Without glyph, but with debuff:

17% - 3% = 14%

14% = 14 x 26.23 = 262.3 + 104.92 = 368 hit rating

- With glyph, without debuff:

11% = 11 x 26.23 = 262.3 + 26.3 = 289 hit rating

Hope this helps
