I might be slightly biased here (or not so slightly), but I believe if you want a tank who can actually hold aggro and be a tank in normal groups, pick a knight. Typical conditions in a normal experience group play away from the Warrior's strengths. He could stick on weapons with aggro specials, but because of dry spells he'll still lose aggro regularly and you'll make liberal use of root anyway. That's Warrior life. Pick a Paladin or Shadow Knight if you want to be freed from relying on root--right tool for the right job!
When the Cleric and Enchanter are both running low on mana, that's typically a sign of excessive pull rate. Some pick-up groups suffer the problem where they're full of experienced players who are used to doing thing differently, don't mesh well, and sometimes work against each other. The present situation the past few posters describe sounds akin to this type of situation: Nobody, individually, has mentioned anything hopeless but their groups obviously aren't working out too well.
