Anyway, Pharmakos, Warriors are in no way 'gimp'. With good gear and competent team mates, Warriors are simply the best, whether its raiding, going for tough targets with low numbers, or just XP grouping. They bring the most HP, the most AC, the most damage, and above all Defensive Discipline. The problem prospective Warriors face is creating those situations: putting in the time to get the gear, and making friends with competent players who can make you look good. There is a reason Warrior is considered something of a raid leader class.
The problem is when you join your average XP group full of people who are somehow bad despite playing this game for hundreds of hours in the same expansion, and the Monk pulls 5 mobs while the Enchanter is clueless and the Cleric is ninja AFK, there is nothing you can do.
I don't think Warriors are boring, either. You have quite a few clickies to manage, you have to manage push while staying in range of the clerics, and you can't really AFK like a Wizard. A good warrior is almost as important as a good monk for successfully 1-grouping the Chardok Royals.
