    depends on the roll and mechanics the best tank to do massive damage,grab adds and is most versatile is WAR. The best Main Tank that can consistently stand in front of a raid boss with the correct cooldown and aggro rotations is Paladin. DRK........ seems (thus far) not viable in a raid group unless that person can swap to one of the aforementioned

    Correction: DRK is viable tho not optimal. I can't see any content so far where having DRK tank (main or off) leads to automatic wipe.

    What exactly is versatile about a Warrior Off Tank? Paladin can Clemency, Stoneskin, Protect those who got raised, keep a STR debuff up, Cover on-demand, Divine Veil the entire raid (MT included), In addition to being a better *in case of emergency break glass* Tank if the MT dies.

    Maybe most Warriors are lazy. Can they do all those things, or is it just damage?

    Warriors can switch stance without breaking combos or wasting a GCD. Which makes them, hands down, the best OT choice for raids. I do not deny the usefulness of the Paladin toolkit though.
