Warriors are by far the best tanks end-game. However, early they suffer due to lack of aggro holding capabilities. Once they get to a high enough level that weapons proc for them they can tank well though. Paladins and Shadowknights outperform them for many levels though.

Warriors are probably tied with Rogues for being the hardest class to start out with. You are incredibly gear dependent and with almost no means of soloing past your late teens / early 20s.

That said, play what you want to play. Personally I'd recommend something that can at least solo half decently and is not totally gear dependent but that's just me. You'll be fine if you have long stretches of time you can devote to grouping.
