Look at the Healing potency per second a Warrior can put out, or even a Paladin as a result of Clemency. Dark Knight actually does not have a healing advantage unfortunately and to even try in compete in that department you're throwing out DA Soul Eaters like nobodies business.
Warrior attack based self heal is 300 potency and consumes 5 stacks of wrath. DRK is 260/400. If you are looking at their other powers, these are defensives that replace damage reducers that DRK and Paladins have. You reduce 30% magic damage every minute, while a warrior heals back up that damage instead through bursty self heal cds. That is not the same as constant offensive self healing, where DRK's are clearly ahead of War.


As to Paladin, Clemency is a 3 second cast, and you cant really compare it to the other classes. As an MT you cannot hit a button and save yourself--it takes a lot of foresight and skill, and with harder content you are very prone to being interrupted during the cast (not to mention, you cannot parry or block while spell casting, which is more important given the interrupt mechanic).

DRK's have a great constant self heal, and have access to very short cd defensives. Other tanks work differently (paladin has many defensives, but all on signifncant cds. Wars have limited reduction compared to the other two, but more burst healing).
