    I'm probably incredibly biased, but:

    Warriors:
    - Have a minor cooldown up 100% of the time
    - Have a huge health pool which makes Stoneskin incredibly effective with a healer who knows how to use it right before a burst.
    - Can self heal 20-25% of their health after nearly all big hits (15s~).
    - Receive increased healing most of the time, leaving them comparable to Paladins taking reduced damage all the time.
    - Have 3 really good "oh crap" cooldowns to recover (Infuriate for an on demand Inner Beast, Thrill of Battle for general panicking, and Berserk for huge Inner Beasts).

    Every healer I've played with at 50 says healing me is easier than a Paladin.

    I'm not saying we're clearly better, since Paladins have a lot of tricks and a bunch of extra mitigation, but I think Warriors are more than capable of tanking bosses. They just require more effort from the tank.

    FWIW, so far every Warrior I've healed has been easier to keep at 100% hp than their Paladin counterparts.
