Now that being said the hierachy of it goes like this:

Warrior = More HP to compensate the migation difference to a certain point. More DPS mechanically.
Paladin = More mitigation due to the use of a shield. Less DPS mechanically.

Warriors need to stop crying to be on par with Paladins, if you want to do that, drop your DPS. sacarfice your DPS cooldowns for survivability cool downs.

Warriors are more a DPS orientated off tank and can tank when needed, alas as I said, it takes more effort. I like having more DPS and burstey cooldowns with survivability then a Paladin, it is why I play one and it is how the class is designed.

I think most of us are just tired of hearing this same argument over and over again and unless you adapt and make it work, SE is going to ignore you in to your place.
As a Warrior I don't want the same amount of mitigation as a Paladin. I do believe there's a few tweaks to be done to the Warrior so that we don't make things quite so hard for our Healer friends though.

I personally love being a Warrior. I love the concept of sustaining through self-heals by bashing in that guy over there's head with an axe.

I believe that putting the combo bonus to Storm's Eye (I believe that's the one... The one that used to give a mini-Bloodbath when combo'd into in Defiance stance) back would actually go a long way. No, the healing isn't a lot individually, but as you keep hammering out your attacks you're going to get a lot of little boosts to help ease the pounding you're undoubtably taking. Not to mention it'll make the Inner Beast heal that much bigger. Chaining that buff with a Bloodbath will net a lot of healing as well in an "Oh shit" moment too.

I'm actually rather curious as to why they removed the combo bonus (but left the ability card showing it).
