Tanking- warriors should always win. They do, and Discs are how they do.

Groups, burst dmg dealers love hybrid tanks. The added healing from lifetaps and self heals helps enough that shm / druids are fine healing them through almost all of velious. Hybrids typically are better in XP grinding groups, and Warriors in slow camps with a big boss. Xp past 50 might not matter now, but AAs change that forever.

Raids- Warriors will always be center stage. As should be, imho. Remember though, that encounters with adds, pull teams and (for a short while) big HT's matter a ton. Hybrid tanks SHINE on fights that require a rez team, as the expected burn rate of tanks is higher.

Also, gear is what defines classes at this point, in the coming expansions you see much more gear that is diversified in who can use it.

Keep in mind, their are also a few raid encounters and group situations where any tank with a good set of resist gear is the best MT.
