FC is putting 2 or 3 groups through turn1-4 each week now. Pretty much always WAR/PLD and I've never heard of agro cap problems. More likely to mess up on agro switching or interrupting boss abilities.
WAR gives the 10% slashing resistance enhancement from Storm's Eye, so that would help both tanks' agro. As for the comment about your WAR having worse agro, I don't think that should be the case. For example, Dreadnaught in turn4 wave 3. PLD picks him up, we wait for it to eat the bugs, then myself (WAR) and all the DPS start in somewhat later. I have to watch agro bar there to avoid taking agro from PLD, even after that much head start, because I'm burning offensive cooldowns at that point. WAR agro should be fine.
Beyond that, just tell them to do anything to increase damage.
- Fight or Flight, Circle of Scorn, Spirits Within (PLD)
- Berserk, Internal Release, Maim, Storm's Eye (WAR)
- Potion of Strength
- DPS food
- Upgrade armor (myth/allagan armor, or crafted jewelry -- all of these have more STR than DL or ilvl90 jewelry)
- Wear a piece or 2 of STR jewelry if you're desperate
Edit: Oh also, your tanks are spending the minimal amount of time dodging area stuff, right? Less time dodging = more time hitting.

The difference between average threat and max threat on paladin is abusing off-gcd abilities.
This is my opening rotation on mobs:
1.Shield Lob
2. Use Fight or Flight during the global cd of shield lob and running to get into melee range
3. fast blade
4. Spirits Within
5. savage blade
6. circle of scorn
7. rage of halone
Note that 2,4, and 6 are all off the gcd. This means that you can pop them in between your standard combo. So, every global you should be hitting fast, savage, or rage. Spirits within and Circle of Scorn (yes, even though it's aoe, should still be used single target) should be used whenever they're up, but only in the gaps between fast, savage, or rage. All paladin mitigation cd's are also off the gcd, so there is no excuse to not be spamming your basic combo. The only notable ability that paladins use that isn't either the main combo or off gcd is the stun. -

Quick question. Are the PLDs Lalafell by any chance?
Apparently the enmity boost on Shield Oath is broken for Lalafells. Meaning we have to work harder to keep hate. Haven't had much of an issue but I've only done the last boss on T1 and didn't have any trouble with that. -
