Gear-wise, both prot paladins and prot warriors are practically identical. Neither really shifts to one side or other on a particular stat, especially at this point when stamina and armor trump so many other things.

The difference of course is found in the play style though. One of the biggest differences I've found in playing both and one that sort of shines a light on how they handle different circumstances is in Shield Block and Holy Shield. Warriors block for more but can only do so about half the time (iirc) while Paladins get 100% up time on the block chance boost but don't block quite as much as warriors. Oh, and there's a difference too on how they each handle spell casters but again, it just comes down to play style and not so much any big difference in gear, stats, etc.
