You know, I've heard a lot of people say this, but in all my raiding from classic through OOW, we had an never had more than one ogre warrior at a time in my various guilds and we never noticed a difference with him tanking. We had dwarfs, half elves, humans, barbs, halflings, and gnomes all MT with plenty of success. I did a lot of tanking myself as a barbarian warrior. It seems like there might have been one or two fights (out of all the bosses in the first 5 expansions, and I don't think any where in classic through Velious) where stuns were an issue and we just let the tanks have 2-5 more seconds at the beginning of the fight before calling the assist.
Frontal Stun immunity is certainly a nice benefit, but imo, it is a bigger boon to soloing shaman.
Until warrior kicks start stunning at level 55... and I don't even think that was put in at the beginning of Kunark... the best reason to be a big race tank is so you can slam without shield swapping. In that respect ogres are no better than trolls or barbarians. Interrupting casters in xp groups and while soloing has the biggest game effect of any racial ability imo.
