As I think I mentioned earlier, it's a blood from a stone thing. It's easier for a WAR to go from meh DPS to decent then from a DPS doing well to doing top tier damage. While there might be a proportional difference which makes high end tanking hilarious compared to mid-level (I can clear A10S comfortably with 1400 DPS whereas the top WAR has DPS at just under 2k), it's not really any easier for the DPS. I can go as a Paladin into a fight to OT Like I did tonight for raid, but I'm doing literally less damage than the MT DRK, which means I'm bringing about 200 less DPS to the table. This ties into the WAR OT meta (easier to get a WAR than to make DPS better, basically) as well as the fact that going from 900 -> 1300 DPS on a tank is 'easy' compared to asking a 1600 DPS Bard to go to 2k for example.
