Can a Warlock's Voidwalker tank in WoW Forever?

The trees give your pet threat tools.

Improved Health Funnel (Demonology) cuts Health Funnel's threat by 50% at rank 1 and 100% at rank 2, and Suppression (Affliction, 5 ranks) takes 4% of your own threat a rank. Whether a Voidwalker can hold a dungeon pull with them is not tested yet. Demonic Brand in words.
