Knight classes tanking raid mobs, even trash, tends to be more about guild culture than about class strengths. Some guilds use Warriors for everything and forget about their knights except for picking up class loot. Other guilds like rapid aggro-lock and use knight tanks for trash clearing with some regularity. I don't really see it as an expansion issue. Raid bosses during Velious, however, tend to require Warriors to a much greater degree than in Kunark due to increased length of battles. There are a handful that knights are sometimes used for, but few and far between. Knights can easily handle most trash, but don't make a knight if you particularly care about tanking Velious raid bosses with any great regularity.
There's nothing wrong with Iksar Shadow Knights. I wouldn't make one simply for Greenmist, but it's a very nice perk. Note that Velious will be out for the better part of a year before the quest is even made available.

Implying that a Warrior made now will tank Velious raid bosses regularly seems like it might maybe be a bit of a stretch.
