Do yourself a favor and start from the scratch, as long as you didn't invest too much time into this toon. WE is a rather bad choice for a warrior, but if you want to stick with it it anyhow, put all 25 points into stamina. Even by totally disregarding dex for now, you will easily exceed 150 dex at level 50, with full gear and Shm buff. Which is thoroughly sufficient for holding aggro by dual-wielding yaks.

Aside of aggro management, the other part of the tank role is surviving and for this you need as much hp as possible. At lower levels there is not much difference between races but it will become significant once you hit 50. Talking about numbers: a level 50 full geared and buffed Ogre warrior, who put everything into stamina at char creation, max out at aprox 3.8k hp. Barbs and Dorfs have about 90 hp less under comparable conditions. However, your template with 75 sta will bring you below 3.5k and this is a huge gap toward the top in regard of absorbing hit spikes from later raid encounters. On top of that, the gap will still increase with a sta modifier of 6hp at level 60.
