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.
Yep can't knock it... as a cleric I much prefer a hybrid tank casually. Warriors are for raids unless they're insanely geared.
