I'm going to answer your question about PVE and raids and this is coming from a person that's played 3 different warriors to 60+ and raided with all 3.

First it will depend on the guild. Some guilds will go with one warrior tanking a raid mob until the warrior dies no matter if defensive is down or not. In that case your chance to actually be a MT is slim unless they pass it around and let them all get a chance. If a guild rotates their MTs due to defensive being down then you'll get a chance to tank if there aren't more than three warriors on the raid at any given time. Either way you'll still be able to offtank adds that come in that are not mezzable (NToV/ToV in general comes to mind). That will also depend on if there are a lot of tanks in the guild/raid. You'll still be able to DPS and kill the mobs, just might not tank anything. And coming from a warrior I know I wanted my chances to MT mobs or at least be the MA any chance I could get. There's nothing like watching your health go up and down MTing a raid mob or seeing the MT go down, getting aggro and popping furious until the CH chain starts hitting you. I absolutely loved it.

Sitting there and watching the same MT tank everything sucks for sure. I felt useless because my DPS wasn't as good as a rogue or a monk's and that I was there to take the damage so everyone else was unharmed but there was a better geared warrior ahead of me. Especially with new raid bosses you go with the best geared warrior for your best chance to win.

Like I said though, it's however the guild you are in/want to join works their MT rotations. They might give everyone a chance to tank or the same guy will do all the work. You won't be useless as you will have other roles other than MTing and you will still be providing DPS to the raid, no matter how little or how much it is.

As for PVP, i honestly never played on a pvp server and rarely dueled anyone so to that I can't comment on. Hope this helps you in someway.
