Whereas no amount of buffs can really make up for either knight's lack of that all-important disc.
Agreed. But root breaks happen, and bad pulls occur. That is when a Warrior is at it's weakest, because they cannot do much about it. Paladins and SK's can do much more in these situations.

In the grand scheme of things, leveling a Warrior is generally more productive over an SK or Paladin if you plan on raiding. You are correct on that point. But not everybody builds their characters for raid tanking.

Unless you are leveling in a static group, people aren't going to prefer a Warrior in an XP group because they have better raid potential. They will prefer an SK or Paladin. Again, not saying people should avoid Warriors as XP group tanks. I don't like stigmatizing classes, and they can tank.
