I used to play a Wood Elf warrior on live - got up to 55 and played through Kunark, quit after that. I focused on gathering all of the extra equipment to boost AGI I could find, my theory was that with higher AC I wouldn't need the extra HPs. The DEX proc is a good example, I used a Bloodpoint in my offhand just to produce more aggro and it proc'd all the time. I really didn't have trouble holding aggro or staying alive. When helping folks with quest armor, I'd often be the solo tank against Kunark giants in a small group of 5-6, most clerics didn't have trouble keeping me alive.
But most of all I just liked the look of plate on Wood Elves. When it came down to it, I just didn't like the look of the Ogre. The decision didn't keep me from getting into groups or raids.
Coincidentally I started a DE warrior here on P99, once again, they got the cool armor. What can I say? I gotta put up with being evil and not even get the STA bonus. Oh well
