either will be fine. I prefer the SK, just cause I like lifetaps and snap ae agro. Warrior will have more defensive disc options.

I agree either will be fine. I main a SK and enjoy it. There are encounters that pretty much require a Knight (Redfang for example) and some that are much better suited to the Warrior.

I have and regularly use one of each tank class, SK, war, and pal.

Sk has become my main/primary tank. At the high end, their ability to tap for health is really quite good.

The warrior is great because between clickies, discs, and donors, he can stay in defensive nearly 100% of the time, and certainly for the entire duration of long boss fights (that ive encountered so far)..

Pal I'm sure could be great, but she's sort of my red headed stepchild tank. I mainly just use her to heal and DPS, both of which could be better done by other classes, but she's a very sturdy DPS'er / Healer, which is nice for that versatile role.

What he said. Easier with warrior don't have to cast to hold aggro with the correct augs.
