Growl is particularly useful for saving nukers and healers from being attacked by mobs.
Challenging Roar can function as a backup, if Growl fails to hit.
If all else fails, immobilization of the mob - by Feral Charge or Bash - can be a good alternative against non-boss mobs.
Growling at a critter causes the critter to run in fear instead of coming to you.

Has no Rage cost.
You get this ability automatically when you get Bear Form.
Growl is treated as a spell. It can't be cast when silenced and it has a 17% chance to not hit boss mobs (in contrast to the 9% to not hit boss mobs for melee attacks). So even if you are melee hit capped (295 hit rating at level 80), Growl's chance to fail is still 8%. This 8% gap can be done away with Glyph of Growl.
