No, dps is closer than one might think these days, I parse all the time. Assuming weapons are similar. The issue is while a warriors has better offensive traits (even off disc) most warriors aren’t tanking off serious dps with 2h’s. Or if they can, nobody ever does.
Even a pleb warrior with a 1/1 ratio 2h at 60 does great dps. Disc burning warriors with a solid 2h and avatar are usually near the top of the chart. Post knight melee table change and scaling damage bonus knights with 2h’s do VERY well on blue cons. While raiding, if a warrior or even monk picks a crap DW combo they will get smoked by 2h knights.
Ultimately, all this is puffery. Even rogues in grind groups play second fiddle to charmed pets and it’s not even a close race. The last 15dps difference between a grind tank knight or warrior is a shaman pet. Go with who’s available. If you have to pick go with the person you trust doesn’t suck (or won’t annoy you).
