Tallenn,
As posted above in a link, Warriors get more use out of their AC than other classes. End game gear for warriors also has more AC than it does for SK's/Pally's.
I don't know the whole break down, but there are other things that contribute also. (Someone stated higher defensive skill cap, and more base hp?).
One thing I do remember though from leveling up on this server is that healers would always comment on how much easier it was if I was taking the hits versus a paladin or shadowknight that was in the group pulling aggro. This could have been gear related, but I don't think I had that stellar of gear.
Also, I currently use an Amygndalin Tendril or whatever + a yak. When we are in fear/hate, an SK literally has to torch his mana to keep it on him instead of me, and generally has a hard time even doing this except for he generally can get in 2-3 spells before the mob gets to the raid. If I had two Yak's I'm sure it would be even more difficult. This also brings the point that SK/Pally is reliant on his mana to hold aggro, where as a warrior is only reliant on DPS/Procs which are relatively steady and never ending.
