That's my point tho too, tho alot of guilds wouldn't let you tank I know the reasons to be unfounded, in full hate gear iksar warriors were tanking as good as any cobalt equiped tank i grp'd with.........Its a easy question to get answers to tho, just need a Dev to go on their test server and make a 2 60 warriors one a human another iksar, put the human in full cobalt and the iksar in full hate armor and check out the ac difference, Im betting there VERY close, I couldn't tell the difference back in the day.....and Fozzul was normally my tank in most groups I found myself in..
People also have problems letting gnOme warriors or any warriors not oGre tank, but that doesn't mean the other races got buffed up, I don't think this was as game changing as your making it out to be, tho I can see where it was a pita leveling there WERE alternatives out there for you to make up for the lack of cobalt armor...

Yo, you're comparing armor that dropped in karn's with hate raid armor. I think effort to acquire chimes in here right? You get to hate IN cobalt, and replace it there is the idea. I don't see any tank using it for long unless they don't plan on raiding.
Anyhow, my point is that this was realized to be a bad idea and corrected later. It'd just be nice not to have that failure here.

So should we have launched the game with out mistwalkers and other items that were only dropped once / nerf?

No, I'm suggesting that we not relive some fuckups. I'd love it if we get a chance to loot the runed fighter's staff, moss covered branch etc.
The reason I brought this up, is that it was such a significant problem that it impacted the playability of iksars, and wasn't obvious until iks got to cap pre-velious and were way behind in armor due to content that ended up never getting fleshed out. The Legionnaire armor was a put-in that applied a bandaid pre-velious but it still denied iks access to tons of content for no reason - which verant realized and then stopped doing with every expansion going forward, so far as to put an armor trade-in quest in pok that let you trade armor for non-iks upgraded for iks.
One of the major luxuries of this server is poetic license. We don't have to recreate every verant mistake.
