IIRC Paladin gets 90% rez at 59 or whenever it is, not full. If you really are looking to make a comprehensive list OP then you should probably add Kick to the warrior skill list.
I know alot of wars get rolled as large races w/ bash, but there still alot of med/small warriors.
As for newer players, or people just starting, it's generally considered easier to go w/ a hybrid tank as they are less dependent on weapons/procs for agro, and can focus on hp/ac gear more so than a warrior. Some people think the difficulties warriors can face w/ agro in good groups can turn newer players off as well. The con to this obviously being the hybrid xp penalty.
Paladins truly can be a nice option for groups that are limited in their healing capacity, i.e. shaman healer or druid (more so probably in Kunark, w/ higher hp mobs) as well as the Oh shit button that LoH provides (Great for moments when say, the enchanter or cleric gets mad agro and and is going down).
Iksar's have regen and ac bonus, and until velious are limited severly in armor choices as a warrior. They do get the class weapon quest, which can also slot in the back iirc (for people who like convoluted quests..) The mancatcher is nice if you can get it done reasonably quickly (altho tbh I am not sure on it's status on p99) as it's 14/30 w/ a proc or something similar, in additon to 8ac and some sta. altho later on if you end up w/ a back slot haste item it becomes pretty much an offhand or a full bank slot.
