My FC's DPS players always say "Yes! The tank got Gaul'd" when I help out in Titan as my Warrior with some Paladin Tanking... The sad thing about that statement, consistently, is that I'm 2nd or 3rd on the Damage Parser at that point. (Not DPS, but Damage DONE!) Only behind Bards, or a well geared Monk.

We just want to be taken seriously, because even the tremendous utility of Storms Eye for Paladins is something that most people flat out ignore. So, I'm being forced to take my Paladin instead of Warrior to Off tank coil.

I have also been told I should ask for a gear swap to change all my Warrior's gear to Valor. =(
I should point out, that I have tanked everything in coil as a Warrior. All of it except the Dreadnaughts in turn 4 and Twintania is doable in full Darklight (I had Myth chest/Hoplite helm for some of it, but that's so minor it almost doesn't count) and everything is doable once you have some gear. Yes you will get hit harder than a Paladin, but it is 100% doable, and BC was balanced around Warriors anyway.
