Warrior MT at a disadvantage in O3S?

[Ekimmak]

I can't take any other tanks in. I've only gotten WAR to 70, and although my DRK alt is at 70, can't get them into Savage due to lower iLevel.

In the end, I wanted to see if there was a direct disadvantage, or if it was just me not being as good at it as I should be. If it breaks the shield, reduces HP by 50%, and doesn't give blood, then the book waltz is fairly unfriendly towards DRK, but if it's just ignoring the shield, DRK is in a good place, because the shield helps protect against the follow up auto-attack, which is a very real threat in most groups I'm in. Heck, they could just apply it immediately after the books, which is what I should be doing with the books, but I don't like my ping times.

I just feel like there's something about the fight that's against warrior, and that's the thing that causes the third most grief for me. The other two are granite phase reapers (which is all on me), holy spellblade markers on the MT, and those books. Does having 10% more health (120% health cut in half) than other tanks make up for not having a 20% mitigation of her auto-attack?

I have two very unfortunate problems, in that my "static" is only partly formed, and that our final run of the week is on Sunday. So, I can't rely on knowing who my co-tank is, or how efficient they'll be playing, and the most practice I get is in the bitter final runs of the week. All I can do is improve myself, and so if that means I have to stay in tank stance for the fight, then so be it. Haven't been able to see the enrage, so my personal DPS isn't an issue yet.

It's easy to say "healers should do better and focus heal at these parts". But I'd rather be proactive, and figure out if there's a way I can improve, or if the class overall needs to be improved.
