Yoshi P talks about Warriors- from Producer Letter Live @ TGS

[Faction]

Not if you construct encounters around both tanks. Make a boss that hits very hard but only hits so often? Get a tank that does well for that (big HP pool) Have a boss that hits very fast and does medium dmg, get a tank that has really good mitigation. etc etc. Instead of crying for both classes to be exactly the same, you should instead be asking for encounters to bring out the abilities of both tanks separately. I know everyone wants to be the All-Star 100% of the time, but sometimes you gotta sit back and tank adds or w/e.

The effective hp of both tanks is practically identical. 2 Paladin is > Paladin+Warrior in any situation.

Hey just a suggestion, play the game. You are yet another forum theoryking.

Been playing the game, can't when i'm at work, and been enjoying my WAR and tanking on it while waiting on friends to finish up to 50 so we can start doing 8mans together. How is anything I said a theory? I think you might have that word confused.

I mean go on and continue to complain and muck up this forum akin to WoW's if you want, apparently the devs are able to function pretty well as WAR though so that either means:

1- they are lying.
2- you're worse at WAR then they are so you should probably improve.(which means they might need to tweak a few numbers for hp regen abilities then to make it slightly less skill based)

It could also mean that they simply feel the player base is in content they do not feel they should be in at this phase of the game. That is what mostly makes sense to me. I could see Yoshi sitting in an office thinking, "Well, they shouldn't be in Turn 5 with ANY tank. It would be ridiculous to buff warriors yet... We told them 3 months to complete Coil."

I will stick to my guns and say I do not believe for a minute that the best Dev warrior is better than the best player warrior.

I would agree with this sentiment 100%. This isn't WoW, you arnt expected to farm up the entire raid in less then a week's worth of time and sit there and complain. There are tiers of content, we were missing a rung on the ladder and everyone just kept climbing up w/o realizing we need it.
