You could ask "why not bring a paladin to off-tank" because a paladin doesn't put out anything near decent DPS and you shouldn't have to choose between an off-tank and DPS. If you want to tank, level your PLD skills and quit crying.
No, it was not stated that warriors are meant to be off-tanks (except by paladin players, strangely enough). It would make no sense to devote a class to off-tanking for several reasons, the most important ones being the fact that there's almost no need for an off-tank in this game and the fact that you can't queue for things as "off-tank" and the game doesn't try to match warriors with paladins so they both have to be viable main tanks. Nothing supports the notion that warriors should be secondary tanks except the fact that paladin players keep saying it. The misunderstanding is on your part, and the warrior class is simply underpowered. The solution is not to "level PLD and stop crying." Christ almighty.
