The WAR isn't game breaking, and thus won't be nerfed. If SE does anything, they'll most likely buff PLDs a bit.
Actually I can think of another class that was nerfed in FFXIV:ARR history, SMN. Nerfed their single target and aoe dmg by making Bane only spread dots to an additional 3 targets from your main target, and they also removed thunder as a cross class from SMN, and gave them blizzard II instead. Recently Bane now works again on all near by targets with only a 50% dmg from the original target in HW, and we can already see how powerful Bane is against multiple targets again, again at only 50% of it's original damage.

@OP Do I believe Warrior needs to be nerfed, idk. But what I do believe for a long time now is all tanks do need to be reworked in general, so any tank combination is possible where each tank is viable choices as MTs, and as OTs. Tanks need to be able to tank, just like dps need to dps, and healers need to heal..reason why AST needed it's buff on healing.
