Yikes. Lots of people who have no clue what they are talking about...
Warriors bring significantly more dps than a knight given similar gear, and no, DPS does not have diminishing returns within the scope of this topic unless the content is completely trivial for what you've brought, in which case any additional member is useless. Some pretty basic logic there.
Most DPS in this game worth bringing have some pretty robust agro management tools such that, given equal gear and skill, warrior agro is not going to be a big issue unless you're a pants-on-head newb.
Is the warrior's extra dps and tankiness worth losing knight snap agro and utility? Depends on your comp and camp. But with some really basic agro management warrior is almost certainly going to produce higher xp/hour, especially considering that outside of end-stage eternal Velious, for the vast majority of the timeline, knights have a dirty, stinking 40% XP penalty (into the 60's if you're a fatty or iksar). Additionally, warriors are infinitely better than knights for applications such as duos and trios, specifically duoing with ubiquitous shamans.
And I say that as a longtime knight aficionado, really the only role I love to play outside rangers.
