Are warriors needed in numbers for raids? If you aren't a top tier warriors do you have a real purpose on raids?

I was wanting to start an iksar warrior and probably won't put in the time to ever get the top tier gear. Should I just default to an iksar monk for dps to contribute to raids?

Warriors are always prefered for tanking the hardest hitting mobs. Its always nice to have them. Warrior dps at 60 is quite significant. If you arent tanking and hitting from the back you can come very close to monks that dont have the brass knucle fist though rogues will always be on top for now. Sustained dps will be even more important in velious though monks will pull far ahead by then.

If you play a warrior you will be expected to tank. If you play a monk you will be expected to pull at times. If you just want to dps id go the rogue path.
