Is there a tank class you would recommend over warrior?

I think Danth and I have come to a tenuous detente: if your group is solid and your gear is good, Warrior is the best. The other 99% of the time, Paladins and Shadowknights will do better.
If you have a great splitting monk who never pulls more than 2 mobs, an Enchanter who is on the ball, a Cleric who loves to stun charmed pets on breaks, and superb gear (Epic/VP weapons)? Then you want a Warrior who will do nearly twice as much damage, has decently more HP/AC, and can burn disciplines on the tougher mobs.
But if those players are bad, then as a Warrior there is simply nothing you can do. Both Paladins and Shadow Knights can compensate for their group mates' mistakes. Maybe its stunning the enchanter charmed pet, or snaring a runner, or healing the overenthusiastic rogue, or FD splitting, or just keeping rock solid threat, but a good hybrid can make a bad group . . . I'm not gonna say good, the way an enchanter or monk can simply carry a bad group . . but OK.
