Paladins/Shadow-knight are non-ideal tanks, but fulfill the tank role in everything but raid content. They get a pass in groups because we will deal with the penalty due to a lack of tanks at times. Without the tank there just can't be a group.
Interesting you forget to mention monks, probably the most common melee, make excellent tanks in most content and have the ability to hold agro adequately. Knights get a pass because of ignorance, nothing more.

They are just DPS. Monk>Rogue>Warrior>RANGER. For every 1 ranger I can find maybe 3-4 monks, 3-4 warriors, and 2-3 rogues on any given day. There is no reason to shoulder the burden of a poorly designed class when better replacements can be found in abundance.
Monks suck balls at pulling outdoors compared to a ranger. Snare is handy if you lack other snares. Foraging is nice for finding berries. And you're not sacrificing that much dps.

Otherwise, pretty accurate.

Monks, rogues, and warriors are all boring as shit imo
