Your average geared warrior (non-dragon haste, non-epic) consistently had a difficult time keeping aggro off me, while SKs and Pals could hold aggro without much effort. Now bard defensive stats/gear/STA:HP ratio are not as good as that of a warrior or SK/pal, so any time I'm tanking is inherently less efficient for the cleric than when the tank is tanking. I'm also going to get interrupted a hell of a lot more when I'm tanking.

Now all you min/max people may have realized your exp was moving slower with a 2nd hybrid in the group, I just realized that I was getting interrupted more, required more healing, and was less efficient at my job.
Was about to post the same thing from the enchanter point of view, same reason.

Much much MUCH preferred an SK tank over warrior while leveling, exp penalty be damned. At least on content where you've got to be on the ball with your CC.
