In classic, the difference was minimal in impact, if not in raw numbers. I tanked everything in classic at level 50, CT, Inny, Nag, Vox, even Spiroc Lord.
In kunark it makes more of a difference, but many things can still be done without defensive or evasive (not that you should in many cases, but you could) I do much more raid tanking on my warrior than sk these days.
In Velious, 99% of the time it's warriors only for raid tanking, but SKs can still do some fun things involving pulling, offtanking, add management, and CR.
In all time periods, SKs are better at soloing, and are fantastic as group tanks. It takes a lot of gear and patience to solo effectively as a warrior post 50 (fungi+ToD+good haste at a minimum).
No shame in being a SK, just know your limits... and by that, I mean, be creative to find out what can be done alone, in groups, and in raids. Good players of any class create many opportunities to contribute.
