Coming from a rogue who has to deal with agro daily in my own way, I will say that it is generally much harder for warriors to hold agro in groups than it is for the hybrids.

The "holy trinity" of agro-holding spells for the hybrids are Flame Lick (ranger), Disease Cloud (SK), and Flash of Light (paladin). Unless the ranger has epics or is insanely geared, they can't tank very well so pallies and SK's are the go-to tanks for the early-to-mid levels.

On the other hand, with no spells at their disposal, a warrior requires weapons with effects that generate large amounts of hate when they proc. This makes dexterity extremely important for warriors as it affects weapon proccing.

Thus, the warrior is dependent on a chance event (proccing) to hold agro, whereas a hybrid can simply (and reliably) cast a lvl 9 spell on the majority of mobs he or she encounters.

Once you get to the high-end content, that is where warriors really shine (disciplines come to mind). 1-50 are going to be tough though.
