Like others have said a lot of rangers dont put their full potential out there. I had a ranger tank in seb the other day and he did a kick ass job holding aggro and pulling, we had me at 58 and another 60 rogue, both of us laying down some pretty good dps and didnt have many problems with aggro. Put it this way he held aggro better than a lot of warriors can in a group situation, not the warriors fault obviously, their aggro is seriously flawed. No, a ranger wont have the mitigation of a warrior, but if they can keep more damage off of me so I can continue to BS then its way more efficient, I was using a blood point offhand quite a bit too.
In the current state of the game rangers arent going to be top dps or a lot of utility but utilized as a tank they can do very well. So rangers, if you want more groups sell yourself as a high aggro tank that can pull, start collecting high aggro weapons, and as much HP gear as you can get your hands on. Players talk to each other and if you build yourself a solid reputation as a solid tank/puller people will pick you up.
