While I'm not a DE, I have a 60 Human SK and I'm entirely satisfied with it. While there are things a Warrior can tank that a SK cannot, I do not believe there is a single mob in the game that an Ogre SK can tank that a Human or DE or Erudite SK can't. The big races do have a stat advantage, but in the long run it's not a game breaker, and for my specific needs (sporadic and generally limited playtime) the lower experience requirement of the Human was a significant plus.
Warrior vs hybrid tanks is an argument as old as EQ. Make a Warrior if you want to main tank high-end bosses. Make the hybrid if you want to be a better tank against pretty much everything else. I figure the two sorts of tanks are suited to different kinds of players. For my part I can't stand playing Warriors.
