You have roles and you work together as a team.
Warriors are the best mitigators, but they come with poor threat gen, so you use root to make their mitigation get used well and the healer heals them. Warriors are great.
Snap tanks have better threat but lose out in other areas.
You aren't babysitting the warrior any more then they are babysitting you. Its teamwork.

As someone else said in the underpowered thread: all other classes are self-contained except for warrior.
Warrior should not require a person rooting for him in order to do his job. That is what I mean with "babysit". Paladin, Shadowknight and Ranger do not require having other teammates do their basic function in a group for tanking.
Did I ever imply teamwork wasn't involved here? I'm saying the warrior needs excessive attention in order to function. If someone is the slower of the group, they have to wait for a proc that might not even go off. Sometimes the warrior won't even have a proc weapon.
Warriors sure are "great" with a whole lot of gear and when they're tanking raid bosses, but they are exceedingly annoying to play with and poorly designed.
