Warriors are very good tanks. A lot of the problems you are seeing on P99 is that the vast majority of the people playing at lower levels (read not 60) are twinked alts or twinked friends being pulled into the soul sucking black hole that is everquest. When a new monk has a CoF, two jade mace, fungi, full dps jewelry package, etc he is going to out agro a warrior with two fine steel long swords every day of the week.
As has been said, warriors are incredibly dependent on their gear. Any group members need to learn how to play their classes rather than trying to min-max for ultimate DPS. Back on live when I first played a warrior I never had trouble maintaining agro and grabbing snap agro from casters when they decided to nuke at 90% rather than waiting for 50-60%. But on P99 everyone knows how to maximize their damage and the market is flooded with high end twink gear.
