Because you're not healing the ranger. The warrior sucks up damage and actually heals up well enough w/o fast health drops. They "can tank" but your healer is going to be 0m much of the time... which means less heals for you and slower pulls overall. Ranger should be on MA/dps, rooting mob breaks towards the casters, keeping just enough aggro but not too much to start loosing tons of health to burn healer mana. Casters also need to watch aggro and get timing down, especially wizards [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
And it doesn't really get any better with expansions, ranger is just no tank (well probably on live everyone is a MT now). That's just how they're built, like round peg in square hole if trying to be the MT. Stop trying to sell them off as a tank, it does them/the class no real service compared to what they can actually do well.

70% slow = ranger can not only tank, but has excellent snap/sustained threat. They have parry, dodge and riposte, albeit at a lower cap than a warrior.
If the chanter is actually paying attention and turns off his netflix/youporn tab, a quick AE mez and a slow on the main target in case of a critical lull resist can do wonders.
Once the camp is broken or you only have 1 or 2 adds once in a while though, it's GG.
