Just get a group together, and define typical equipment for a level 60 ranger and warrior. Epics? Full HoT armor? No ST/NTOV gear? I don't know... figure the "typical equipment" out for someone you'd find doing standard group content.
Then put the ranger in a balanced group that can heal, slow, DPS, and provide crowd control. Pull mobs and parse, stop when the ranger dies due to lack of healer mana. Measure how much total damage the mobs did to the ranger, how much total damage the mobs did to the rest of the group, and how many mobs they were able to kill.
Swap out with the warrior and run the experiment again. Do again for bard and paladin.
Post results. I'd be interested to see without subjective speculation who the most ideal group tank is. Based on aggro and healing ability I think the paladin wins in this scenario, actually.
