Same thing still matters to all group tanks. If your group members can't manage their aggro then they are just as bad as the mage everyone complains about who can't position or pull back their pet. + where is the chanter and/or bard?

There is one class that excels in the most important stats with ease.
Oh Sh!t moments happen in group.
The guy with the most HP and mitigating the damage the most - wins for the duration of time it takes to cast a successful CH or Evac
No other tank gives this confidence in group as a meat shield.
Can ranger, monk, knights tank? Sure.
Whine how easy content is and the tools of the other classes make it more fun or better aggro holders.
Rangers does serious damage, best aggro tools and has best snare. They can always find if the named is up. Content is so easy lets make them tank for days. Only no one does because their HP and mitigation sucks.
Get a warrior meat shield that also takes the least damage. Especially when you don't need or want to worry about whether CH lands in an exp group.
All this thread is doing is making Furor from Fires of Heaven have a chubby from the grave. Next we will see a thread saying monks are better raid tanks.

Warrior is the only tank that has to even worry about managing their aggro because they are so horrible at it.
Paladins and sks even get to wear a shield so they're arguably more tanky than a warrior. Warriors get evasive so yes that wins but monks pretty much have evasive full time anyway.
A warrior tank gives me the opposite of confidence. A warrior tank makes me think "okay great so I really need to be careful or I'm guaranteed to be dead because our tank couldn't hold aggro if he wanted to"
Also I don't even know what your statement about stats even means. Warriors don't get exclusive buffs or gear that other tanks could get. In fact paladins bring their 200pt hp buff ! Warriors bring nothing
