The funny thing about this is that WAR and PLD are partly inspired by two of the three warrior specs in WoW. PLD took most of its ideas from WoW's prot warrior (which is why I had such an easy time adjusting to it and also why it is such a solidly-built tank), while WAR took parts from the Arms tree (DoT: Fracture instead of Rend, Low enemy HP attack: Mercy Stroke instead of Execute) and used a piece of Blood DK self-heals in place of mitigation (forgetting that self-heals was a small piece of DK overall mitigation and that it was largely there to help make up for DK's lack of a shield to block with).

As far as fixing warrior, what Hachiko and Genesiser said.
