The best warrior is the warrior that does his job the best. So what is a warrior's job? Some say its to hold aggro. I will take it a step further and say:
A warrior's primary job is to create the most efficient mana-to-hp conversion for the group/raid.
This encompasses holding aggro so no one is wasting mana healing non-tanks, having a large amount of HP so the cleric gets more bang for the buck out of the Complete Heal, and minimizing the damage taken over time (which needs mana to replenish) with AC/discs.
In most group cases, due to a knight's snap aggro, they can reduce the damage taken to the rest of the group (therefore using less group mana for heals) and allowing the group to engage full DPS sooner, therefore killing the mob faster and reducing the overall damage taken over time. However, in some raid scenarios it becomes more efficient to have the warrior, at the expense of having to hold back on raid DPS since aggro off the tank could mean instant death and severe reduction in DPS.
