In my personal opinion, you would get a lot more mileage out of a SK. Shadowknights are far more effective solo and somewhat better in groups. They also provide a nice variety of abilities as opposed to warriors who mostly press taunt/autoattack/kick. Also SKs are much less gear dependent. You can hold aggro with spells, so all you need to do is stack HP/AC for group tanking. Warriors need that and great weapons/haste. SKs are also a bit more skill based; warriors are mostly stats. Finally Iksar SKs are still quite rare if you want to play something unusual, maybe even rarer than warriors.
Personally when I made Sakuragi I had no idea that we would still be in Kunark two whole years later. It's kinda frustrating sometimes that despite being basically BiS (aside from a crown of rile and a few pieces of Sky gear which never drop) he's still behind Ogres with even medicore gear (you can browse the wiki Magelo; Sakuragi vs say Sworen is particularly depressing).
