OP, tanks are not for doing damage. They are for taking hits, and hopefully pulling.
Player tanks are valuable. Those all-powerful casters want someone to go pull so they don't have to stand up. Just make sure to have a bow and some arrows and fletching materials.
Pets are not always a sufficient replacement for tank players. Players can pull intelligently; for example, try to get singles, warn of multiple mobs incoming, die away from camp instead of training the pet master.
There is a tank shortage right now in the 50+ range. When I log in my useless potato warrior, I instantly get a group. Is it the same at lower levels?
Furthermore, in my opinion, warriors are a guild class. You need a guild because a guild needs you. A guild with any sense will support and enable their warriors.
