True, and to an extent warrior is losing its "flavor" to be more paladin tasting. But at the end of it all, damage is damage and both have to deal with it. I'm a little sad to see the hp bit of warriors go, though it just isn't possible to really balance well in this set up right now. My stance now is that while both will become mitigation, their styles are pretty different on how they do it.
