@ Jeff - What are you talking about??? Warriors arent the only class that tanks, they are one of 4. The issue isnt about leveling, its about the desire to play a role in a game that has the strictest set of gearing rules (i.e. stam, ac, def, avoidance) and if they don't meet those standards, then they are instantly labeled a "bad player", no matter how good they are. You dont see groups dissolving b/c the DPS isnt DPS'ing hard enough, its b/c the tank cant take a hit or hold aggro on multiple mobs.
Only healers are comparable to tanks with the amount of rules and restrictions placed on them by the community, but even they can walk into an instance undergeared and do fine.
A tank never will. A tank has to be overgeared in order to be considered good enough.
