What could explain this? Were we all just that bad at the game?

I think this is the most likely scenario. It isn't just warriors on this server having problems with aggro that is different, but the general level of gear/knowledge/skill of the DPS in their group as well. I too remember warriors dual wielding lammys, but those warriors were also probably 15 year old kids who were studying for their algebra exam the next day while playing, I know I was. I think we all like to look back at live and think we knew everything because a few of us were in successful guilds, but even being in a top end raiding guild myself I can look back and realize how little I understood in terms of game mechanics. Even now a lot of people on this server who are in the top guilds like FE and TMO really are clueless beyond what they think the role of their particular class is.
One of my characters on this server is currently a 58 warrior who was created back in 2010. I've tanked just about every encounter outside of VP and grouped in just about every zone while playing him. People having problems with aggro either have bad players pulling aggro off them, or are bad players themselves and don't know how to use taunt, which despite popular belief does work pretty well on this server. It really is as simple as that.
Could there be slight differences in how this server and live calculate aggro? Absolutely. Is it a broken mechanic that is in need of immediate attention, or even really affects play on this server? No.
Edit - just to clarify, I realize taunt doesn't work on raid mobs. When talking about taunt I was speaking to exp groups. For raids, obviously generating aggro through other means is the way to go.
