But still, somebody in the group asked if there was any other tanks LFG because they were concerned about the shared exp penalty.

It's a trade off. You want the better aggro management that spells offer? Go hybrid with a penalty. Don't want the penalty? Go warrior, hope he's geared well, root all the mobs and evade.
If you were tanking at 54 and your party was okay with it and you bring in a 59 anything, then the xp per kill for the rest of the group is going to drop by a lot because of just how much more xp that character has.

A 59 paladin is probably going to eat twice as much xp per kill as you were as a 54 warrior.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
