WAR will outmitigate DRK any day of the week. It has Inner Beast (20% damage reduction) for every tank buster, and each IB will also have one of:
Vengeance (equal to Shadow Wall on a shorter cooldown)
Raw Intuition (another 20% vs physical attacks)
Thrill of Battle (and possibly Equilibrium).

WAR can also use stuff like Foresight/Awareness/Convalescence just with IB while DRK needs to stack them with a full cooldown.
