Being the main tank is a pretty neat thing, but you HAVE TO BE on every raid there is or you are out. So it is a hell of a commitment. Raid Leader and Main Tank almost always have the most DKP's. And the Best gear, which the MT needs.

That is so true. I was never the MT of a guild until I was the officer of a progression guild on the Test server. Even then, I wasn't able to make the first 4 raids the guild had and was the second warrior behind a member because of it. I didn't become the MT until that warrior quit and I was next in line. I had about a 95% attendance and most of that 5% were those first 4 raids and the warrior that was in front of me had an even better attendance percentage. Later on once we hit Velious and after a couple kills of a raid mob other warriors would have a chance to MT. But that example might be a little screwed because so many people would play for 1-2 months and quit so most people playing later on weren't the same people at the beginning. It was a very high turn over rate for us.
Like I said in my first post though, there are other uses for warriors on raids even if you aren't the best geared warrior or
the MT. Offtanking, Main Assist, Second Assist(if MA has to afk or is dead), and general DPS are the other things warriors do as well.
