Ive played a non ogre warrior for years, and he has tanked every raid mob outside VP multiple times successfully, so I'm by no means advocating for my chosen race/class when I say that from a min/max pov ogre is without a doubt the best warrior race. I'm pretty sure Loraen did a breakdown of the numbers and came out with something like 6% more dps, which is definitely significant if we're talking min/max.
Does that mean another race warrior can't tank everything in the game? Absolutely not. Will race make up for the player being an idiot? Nope. But holding everything equal in terms of gear and player situational awareness, an ogre will be slightly better than a non-ogre. That is also true of iksar monks, and a variety of other class/race combos. Ultimately IMO while some classes do have a "best race", worrying about that when you could spend time becoming a better and more knowledgable player is silly. Character race will never trump understanding of encounters and game mechanics - so don't stress the little things.
