Royal Guard viable in pvp now?

With the rework of his special taunt being a guarantee, along with his turn meter gain every time someone else gets hit, can he be a viable Dps stopgap for pvp matches? He's got a nice deep health pool. Pair with some other high hp toons and a poggle, could make for a nifty shell game team. Maybe?
