I was curious to the pros and cons of a warrior tank vs a pally tank. My main is an 80 resto druid and have healed both in VoA/Naxx/heroics. In the VoA and Naxx runs I've been on, its always been a pally tank. Also, in general I've had an easier time healing the pally tanks. The reason I'm asking is my next char to work on is a tank. I did the feral thing from 1-78 and I am resto at heart now. I have a 60 warrior and a 55 pally but dont know which to level to tank. I am curious about mitigation since both wear plate / use shields. Is the difference in the abilities and talents? Is the new Blessing of Sanctuary and Holy Shield(I think thats right, 8 charges 30%) make paladins better? Or is there an advantage I'm missing of warriors.
I'm mainly looking for info on damage mitigation/aviodance and holding threat. I've read the stickies and posts that I could find about each individual class but I was curious as to your opinions on the comparisions. Thanks in advance.
edit.
Assuming gear/stats and player skill between the two are identical or similar
