Am I the only one who thinks the Spys taunt is useless, you cant use will cloak that I understand, but also when disguised you still can't taunt kill. I think if the spy was disguised as a pyro he should be able to do the taunt kill, because the pyro can.
Spys taunt useless?

That was a pain when cloaked spies and disguised spies could just stand next to you and your sentry and instakill it while you could do nothing, breaks balance so no. Taunt kills are not supposed to be functional, they are supposed to be funny way to humiliate a person not paying attention.

I will say that the spy taunt is a tad less useful against inattentive people, like scoped snipers, what with the two first swings doing some damage. This is really a taunt kill you have to get lucky for.
Unlike that time I batted a sniper off the 2-fort battlements. Boy, he FLEW.

wrong there is a glitch if you do the knife taunt, and cloak real fast, you can kill with it....

It also works if you get pinned in a corner...like me 
...
...i agree it is probably the worse taunt kill, but your reasoning isn't solid. The approached I'd have taken is talking about the damage it does to opponents before the final lunge. This alerts them to your presence before the insta kill. Spies aren't supposed to attack while disguised.
What I mean about it useless is that the Spy uncloaked and undiguised is the biggest targets in the game, and thats the only you can use it, it's as slow as the scout, so
if you pin someone to a corner, they just blast you away so they can just hit you with there melee. I think the Spys should be able to taunt kill if he disguised as another character that can taunt kill.
That is not allowed on our servers, its a exploit, and just shame on people who use it.
For one, why would you not attack the guy thats taunting he could be a spy.

What if you are away from your sentry, I know that after I set up I try to help other engineers or take down enemies with my weapons instead of just sitting there. The sapper system gives the engy a warning so that he can try to scramble back to his buildings and stop them from dieing, but the taunt kill instantly kills the buildings with no warning.
Again, not supposed to be functional.
It would totally unbalance the game in favor of the spy. He could sit outside the enemy spawn with the C&D and taunt kill half the team. It is supposed to be, as mentioned before, to ba a hilarious way to kill people who are AFK or not aware.
I dunno, I've defended spiral on 2Fort with the Heavy's taunt kill quite a few times.
I have seen this , it's rather funny haha . But as far as the original post is concerned I'm not too sure what I think about the taunt kills so I can't really try and elaborate or debate anything , I've never tried to taunt kill anyone lol .
