Depends on what you expect from your tank. That SK is going to get and hold aggro better with his lvl 9 spells.
Until 51+, it really hardly matters. Even then, exp is going to suck much worse if you a) wipe, b) kill very slowly, c) have players bail and need replacement.
I'll take a competent, well put together group over a theoretically optimal cookie-cutter group every time. I've seen warriors that can't get or maintain aggro because they don't even seem to be trying. Like they think people won't notice they're slightly out of melee range and their weapons aren't moving. I've seen warriors who refuse to put away their 2h weapon when asked by the cc or dps. I've seen warriors come into groups that were functioning perfectly with the previous sk or pally tank, and watch the warrior play poorly or be a dick or whatever and boom, group is done.
Of course I'd prefer a competent, polite warrior over a similarly competent, polite hybrid tank for leveling 55+. Then again, when you're picking up a stranger to join your group, odds are their experience penalty is going to be the smallest part of how they help or hurt your exp gains.
