Awesome so if warrior appeals, go for it? I played a SK a long time ago but always got passed over when the real mobs needed to be tanked so I'd rather push a warrior if it still means I get the chance to stand in a fight for the raid!

I guess the other question I have - even if "surplus" in a large raid guild, do you still have a shot at warrior loot, or is it pretty contested still?

It seems the root of your questions here isn't as much about whether or not to play a warrior, but rather which guild to join. A good guild that has the right structure will not only rotate you in and give you a chance to tank endgame content, but also give you a FAIR chance at getting gear. Looking at you 'loot councils'.

As a warrior main, getting your ass smashed for 5 minutes by a giant wurm while a team of clerics sprinkle their magic over your worn out body is an amazing experience. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In all seriousness, yes play a warrior, do your research on a good guild and be plain about your expectations before you join and invest too much time. You also have to realize you need to put work in to be eligible to tank.

You need to get 60.
You need to get gear. (hp, aggro)
You need to properly understand raid tank game mechanics.

So long as you have these basics down, no reasonable guild would refuse you the opportunities.
