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.
(assuming gear/stats are identical or very comparable)

Play whichever one you prefer.

really tho... only one answer... skilled tank... period.
I had both a prot tank and a prot pally at 70 with pretty equal gear, but chose to bring the warrior up to 80, why?;
Found them more involved in the tanking process than the pally,
There are too many pally tanks out there spamming conc' giving them a bad name(even though no one should be able to fail at tanking with a pally, it's that easy.)
As many people see the Priest as 'The Healing Class,' I see Warriors as 'The Tanking Class.'
With that said, Mental makes the best point.
No matter what anyone tells you on this, or the Pally forum(If you posted this there also) the answer will be bias in someway.
As your chars are pretty similar level, get your Pally up to 60, spec both prot and go smash some heads in Hellfire Ramps.
