For the same reason the term "Bandwagon" was invented. WAR has ridiculously high self healing capacity with Rampage, Bloodbath, and all the Crit gear it has access too, it takes less effort (or more depending on the player) for the WHMs to heal and the added bonus of good DPS with good defense on top of it. In other words WAR got lucky to get all the hate grabbing abilities, high dps, high defense, high hp, good damage negation abilities, and free of charge high-healing capacity. I don't wanna knock it, but I do see a nerf bat coming down sooner or later.

But to be fair, all WAR groups are not all they are cracked up to be. WAR's have no enmity reduction abilities as some have already said and I know for a fact how stressful it is to have your Combos get messed up from hate flying around which can really hurt overall DPS without someone being a solid hate source. But I suppose you could all stand in front to avoid the issue altogether, but you also run the risk of frontal AoE's so it's pretty give and take.
