Agility on a tank

Jeez, dunno what kind of warrior you play but my warrior pulls, positions mobs, manages aggro (as best I can with limited tools,) moves mobs around so chanters can target them easier, watches the entire group health to make sure no one is being beaten on, and otherwise runs the whole encounter for the group cooperatively with other classes as might be in the group. Whether I do this successfully is something I'm skilling up on, but saying all a tank does is taunt bash and kick means a pretty crappy tank... you don't have to be a caster to have stuff to do!!! Level up to the point where you can get into a close dungeon like UGuk and you'll find a whole new dimension of tanking...

a SK and a pally does all the same stuff as well when tanking, so that doesn't really enter the equation, any good tank does those things, on top of that , a war only has 2 or 3 buttons to press where as a knight has more options to make things slightly more interesting with spells on top of taunt / bash .
