Anger cannot be used to calm someone down. Derek never stated what his anchor is but anger is not it at all. The anchor is meant to calm you down, focus your mind on something other than your anger. It would be like trying to get rid of excess water by pouring in more water...that simply won't work. All of it is very similar to the Incredible Hulk. The Hulk gets stronger the more angry he gets. His love of Betty is what calms him. Notice that even though Betty is a person it isn't just as simple as the person...it is the feelings that person invokes in Bruce Banner that calms him. With Scott, he may have lost Allison but his anchor wasn't Allison as a person, it was his feelings for her and how she made him feel that did it. Those feelings still exist with or without her.

Again, Scott and Stiles already proved that Derek was correct when they practiced Scott's control in "Heart Monitor". In fact when Stiles said that Derek was right about anger being the key that was when Scott mentions that it was more than that and the angrier he got the stronger he felt. Shifting between forms is something Scott already learned to control and keeps a pretty firm grip on.
