This is highly advised against. This is what is known as 'zerging' blackwyrm and turns a 17-20 minute fight into a 35-40 minute fight because Blackwyrm's attack pattern isn't getting reset. This means he'll poison blast melees/ranged and roar unpredictably. In fact on any server with a tank, they absolutely hate summoners who spec taunt on their Q for BW fights.

 

Cat taunting BW = your BW now takes 2x as long to kill and gets your melees killed constantly.

 

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but I believe the OP's argument is there is no point to melees.  If you don't have melees, you don't have to worry about them getting killed constantly.

 

(and, incidentally, for all the counterarguments involving dueling (or at least 1v1 combat), I got the distinct impression the OP is talking almost entirely PvE and/or large scale World PvP.)
