I don't think any sharks are particularly viscous really. They are just doing what sharks do, eating the way they are made to eat. They aren't mean about it, just having dinner. It's we that invade their space remember, they don't come out of the water looking for trouble.

I'd have to agree with magicman here- the sharks aren't intending to be vicious, they're just acting according to their nature. It's our perception of them that leads us to call them (or any animal) "vicious". Dangerous might be a better word for their behaviour.
This website from the Shark Foundation actually agrees with Bull sharks as most potentially dangerous if you read down to "danger to humans" : http://www.shark.ch/Database/Search/species.html?sh_id=1008
Although bulls would definitely be in the top three, when you look at attacks in terms of number and fatalities, great whites have the largest number of reported attacks (254) on humans, but often release their victim after only one bite, so most (around 75%) will survive; the tiger shark, while having fewer reported bites, has the highest human fatality rate (35%): http://www.time.com/time/2001/sharks/cover.html
And just keep in mind that humans are responsible for more shark deaths than the other way around!

As per the World Shark Foundation, the Great White is the most dangerous followed by Tiger, and the Bull shark comes 3rd.
Tiger sharks are the "Most dangerous" species of sharks in the Hawaiian waters.

Bull Sharks tend to attack more people thanb any other species, they live in shallow waters where people like to play and they very teritorial. They are most active at dusk and dawn.

yes. great qwhite sharks cause worse injury (because of their size & power). bull sharks cause more injuries (becuase of their close to shore & freshwater habitats), but tiger sharks are liekly th emost ferocious -- they will eat anything.

depends on where you are.
In Australia, bullsharks account for more injuries and deaths than tigersharks.
this is probably because bullsharks can live in less salty water like rivers and estuaries and come into contact with people more often.
