There's nothing about warriors that make them useful in group content. Outside of defensive disc, a warrior is like 5% more tanky than a knight. Unless you're pulling for an AoE group or something, using defensive in group content is weird as fuck.
The tank's DPS is largely irrelevant and warriors aren't significantly better DPS than a knight unless using actual DPS weapons and discs, which is mutually exclusive with tanking. There's no scenario where there's some kind of benefit to having a warrior as the tank.
With a knight tank, you get unbreakable aggro from the first moment of every fight so everyone can do whatever they want without any risk of taking aggro. Warrior aggro isn't stable until at least one proc, and in some cases, one proc isn't even enough. On top of that, knights bring bits and pieces of utility. A warrior brings literally none whatsoever.
Assuming max dex and two weapons with aggro procs, a warrior procs every 20 seconds on average. That's how long into a fight it typically takes before a warrior has stable aggro. A knight has stable aggro from the moment the mob gets into spellcasting range. You can literally start slowing/nuking on incoming.
That's really all there is to the discussion.

Welcome! Another suboptimal tank here to try and save face!!! You're in good company here. Noone wants your crappy paladin sitting and medding constantly when warrior can function non stop. Nice math btw, not biased at all and totally accurate LOL!! Defensive is wierd? Okay you look like a tard here by saying that. Warriors aren't significantly better dps? Man you are practiced after in lying to yourself warriors get triple attack and paladins cant break thru a wet paper bag. Pally dps is non existent sorry mate. Love also how u act like pally gaurantees insta aggro, most of the time ur gonna get interrupted and stunned because pally are dogshit compared to ogre warrior but ok...You're only defense is unbreakable aggro from the start, and if ench is competent, that is not necessary at all. You are bringing up small points and ignoring the big ones. Have fun with that. Clearly u need time to cope lol. You newbs just keep floating to the surface after every flush its hilarious
